<p>just wondered if anyone uses a tablet-especially in the engineering school. also, does anyone know if first year textbooks for enginnering can be purchased as electronic versions? thanks in advance.</p>
<p>I think the answer is no. Tablet handwriting recognition has still not won over enough people. I don't think the tablet software can recognize equations, for example, including Greek letters and mathematical symbols. </p>
<p>As for e-books as textbooks, again, you're a generation too early. I think it's about 10 years away. Alas for all of us students--young and old.</p>
<p>thanks for the input. I've been using onenote (without a tablet) and it is really great in bringing together datawithout frames. Easy to paste, etc.</p>
