My great disdain of e-books.

I’m going to school online at the Art Institute of Pittsburgh. I enjoy my accelerated classes, because you start the class and next thing you know, it’s all over. However, now, they offer ‘e-books’. Meaning, my required reading is a book that I have to sit at my desk top computer to read. At least when I had regular paper books I could wander around with it. Read it while I was waiting at my doctor’s office, or on lunch break at work. Now though, I can’t do that. So when I finally get home from doing whatever I had to leave the house to do, I still have to sit and read on the computer for a couple of hours before even getting to do my homework.
You would think that because people take online classes to make their lives easier and be able to do their work whenever/wherever, it would make sense to lat the students do their work wherever they felt comfortable. I used to do my homework reading while I was sitting in the bathroom monitoring Jillie’s bath time, or on the couch while she played with Barbie’s, or at the table while waiting for dinner to cook, or at lunch at work, you get the idea. Now, I feel like I am chained to my computer. You can imagine my frustration and aggravation.
