I've realized that a while back. Just thought I'd rub it in, I already follow them.

At the risk of reigniting a debate that has been had in my timeline in the past... here's a report of a University of Valencia that looked at over 20 paper examine the differential effects of reading digitally & on paper.

The research confirms my experience (my own & in the reading of my erstwhile students) that reading digitally is less likely to lead to long-term educational (knowledge) benefits...

This is not a very clear argument.
I find PDF textbooks more valuable since one can search text and illustrations, text that were hard to see before can be enlarged for clarification.
I moved to a much smaller home and would have had to leave my library behind if I did not make it electronic. It now fits on a Tb drive instead of taking up a room.
Are kids reading more rubbish rather than worthwhile texts? Yes, but that is not the fault of Ebooks.

I think you might be right. I embraced new technology the moment it appeared, first playing frisbee with vinyl, then with CDs, etc. but teachers, at least the ones I've known over the years (both my sisters are teachers), tend to stick to norms and are more traditional. The fact that kids have the entire internet in the palm of their hand must be concerning/threatening to guardians. It would make for biased testing.

😅 I learned that lesson the hard way. So there is now a pristine, untouched Tb drive that is an exact copy and when the old one packs in, my first act would be to copy the backup.

I have sympathy with that. My sister, who went a bit faster than the curriculum (her students were bored) was severely reprimanded by the ED dept.

Yes, I finally dealt with our own ridiculous ED system by suggesting my daughter put my grandson into a Waldorf, where education happens at the pace of the student.
