Sara Fletcher replied to Diana Hansen's discussion Online textbook rental services see a boom in usage in 2010"I feel like renting digital copies are harder; its difficult to read a massive text online, as opposed to a hardcopy book.

Elizabeth Shuman replied to Diana Hansen's discussion Are Virtual Academies Better Than Traditional Public Schools?"Great points, Tom.
