Scan your textbooks instead of lugging them around? For around 149 dollars this nifty device can help you scan textbooks into a digital format. Watch the video to see how it works: http://www.gizmag.com/book-saver-scanner-from-ion-unveiled/17532/ Some obvious issues:
Size – where do you put it when you are finished with it?
Format – does it output in a way that I can highlight and take notes on? I still read paper books but have converted to digital articles that I can highlight and take notes on using Acrobat Professional
