When I was in elementary school...about 15 years ago or so...books were a necessity in our backpacks. We had to have them, we were assigned strict reading assignments, and we were motivated to read read read! In third grade, I enjoyed reading. My elementary school had funds to allow us to use the computer lab about once or twice a month to learn about Microsoft Office. About that same time-frame, my mother pointed out something that was on the back of a Reader's Digest issue: It was a boy sitting in a chair at a desk. He was looking at a computer screen, which had the screen cut out and a book was propped up where the screen is supposed to be. I remember my mother telling me, "they are going to have these things called E-books one day."
My elementary school that I work at does not necessarily need a computer lab anymore. Every class has a set of laptops/Chromebooks. They are convenient because teachers do not need to worry about making copies of numerous worksheets. They are also elements of communication for the teacher-student relationship. However, they still use books of some physical nature in the classroom.
Nowadays, everyone has an electronic device. Whether wearable or not, electronic devices are imbedded in today's society now. Consider the timeline of E-books. We now have companies like Amazon and Barnes and Noble offering an E-reader. Future generations will most likely be reading E-books more than paperback. I still prefer paperback.

For kids with dyslexia, electronic is the best way to go because you are able to change the font, a feature not offered by paperbacks. there was even a font created by a man who was dyslexic, I think it is called 'Dyslexie'(?)
My personal preference is either one as long as my child is reading, then I am happy.
