SanDisk has increased the potential of the eBook by developing a new flash drive called the BookLocker. With a user-accessible partition for storing term papers, and a secure partition for copyrighted books, students can access the books on any PC, and then highlight, search and add notes to the text. Connecting to the internet initiates automatic updating of the texts which are downloaded directly to the flash drive.
The benefits of using such a system are numerous, most notably less back strain from heavy books, and the DRM enabled books can be obtained on a per semester lease to save college students money. Just hope you have access to a LCD screen when studying.More USB Flash Drives
