Maine school to use iBooks
, according to the Portland Press Herald News. Currently, all seventh and eighth grade students in the state's public schools have iBooks; the success of that program is what prompted Thornton to pursue a similar initiative. The deal is expected to cost $3 million to start and $900,000 a year to maintain. The school is currently in talks with Apple to determine whether to lease or buy the iBooks.
