Kno: The Digital Textbook


Tired of paying hundreds of dollars for school textbooks? Well the Kno is attempting to solve that problem with an iPad like device used for student purposes. After receiving $46 million in funding, Knowledge Now is beginning to release it's product. It is comprised of notebooks, and textbooks, and class readings. This device will drastically lower the cost of textbooks while saving countless school children's backs from heavy backpacks.

 

The Kno is scheduled to be released by the end of 2010. But will Kno make an iPad app, allowing students to use iPads for school use, or will Kno force schools to use their product?
