W:What's that, Brett?

M:It's my new e-book reader. I'm just downloading some new books onto it.

W:I haven't bought one yet. I still prefer a printed book.

M:But if you haven't tried it yet, how do you know you wouldn't like it better, Fiona? This e-book reader can store over 10,000 digital books. Imagine trying to carry an entire library from place to place.

W:I don't usually read 10,000 books all at once and I like the look of text on a printed page.

M:You mean that faded text on that yellowed page? On an e-book reader, you can adjust the text size and even line spacing.

W:Can I get all of the out-of-print books on my shelves in digital format?

M:Well, I'm not sure.

W:Until I can, I'll stick to my low-tech books. Let's take our seats. The class is about to begin.
