16．E-reading and e-books are slowly conquering the world．Compared to traditional paper books，e-books in some schools and universities attract more interest because the information flow seems much easier to manage and comes in a greatly higher quantity．Japan is known for the reform-minded attitude towards the gadget（精巧装置）world and for the fact that it is one of the first countries that encouraged in the educational system the emailing of homework．
The digital textbook looks like the logical step in the world of learning．It is natural but it is also completely untraditional．
The plan of the largest publishing companies to get in line with the trend is to save a large quantity of paper and make the kids become interested in learning using a cool gadget．Many USA universities and colleges have made students be used to the procedure of downloading the courses and of course the procedure involves interactive software and also the chance of using the computer．
The traditional education system is still unwilling when it comes to giving up books．The standard approach of information taught out of a book and Shakespeare read out of an old school novel makes studying English as traditional as it can be．
