New Florida Law Requires eTextbooks in High Schools in 4 Years

The Florida State Legislature is considering a new bill that could make lugging heavy textbooks around a thing of the past. The new law, passed as part of the education budget, would require Florida public schools to switch to only using digital textbooks by the 2015-16 school year. It would also require them to spend at least half of their textbook budget on digital content by that time.
