WHY eBOOKS
There is some discourse over eBooks. With a simple internet search, many links quickly become evident. An eBook (of course you knew it had to be one) you might want to read, and it's free, is Why eBooks. It goes into detail about pedagogy and principle. Unfortunately, it is not available in the Hong Kong Store yet :(
