and good teachers that can inspire students play a more important role in child development.

How utterly pointless. There's nothing natural or pure about a book's form factor. This is like the people who design a website like Amazon to be a 3D store you have to walk through and grab stuff off shelves before walking to a cash register, because replicating solutions for practical real life problems that you don't have on a website is 'more natural'.

The only reason a book has two pages next to each other is because that's the most practical way to present a lot of words printed on paper and enabling people to easily get to the part they want to read. Guess what! With electronic books, you've already solved these problems, so there's NO NEED TO USE THE SOLUTIONS THAT APPLY TO INK ON PAPER. ]]>Sep 7th 2009 4:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/07/asus-planning-dual-screen-eee-reader-worlds-cheapest-e-book-re/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/07/asus-planning-dual-screen-eee-reader-worlds-cheapest-e-book-re/Sep 7th 2009 5:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/07/asus-planning-dual-screen-eee-reader-worlds-cheapest-e-book-re/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/07/asus-planning-dual-screen-eee-reader-worlds-cheapest-e-book-re/Sep 7th 2009 6:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/07/asus-planning-dual-screen-eee-reader-worlds-cheapest-e-book-re/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/07/asus-planning-dual-screen-eee-reader-worlds-cheapest-e-book-re/Sep 7th 2009 1:22PM
