Is this the end of textbooks?

PARK HILLS, Mo. (AP) - February 28, 2011

An eastern Missouri school district may replace textbooks with e-readers.

The school board for the Central School District in Park Hills has voted to approve a "Kindles for Kids" proposal.

Administrators want to provide each of the more than 2,000 students in the district with the Amazon Kindle DX for the next school year.

But there is a big catch.

The district won't pay for the Kindles.

The project will only happen if electronics stores can be convinced to donate the e-readers, or money to buy them.
