Apple Supplies iBooks to Fla. Schools

Apple announced Wednesday that it will supply 30,000 iBooks to Broward County Public Schools in Florida, which will be used by students in kindergarten through high school. The school system touted the iBook's performance, and noted its durability will protect against damage while being carried in students' backpacks.

"We're excited to work with Broward County to provide students with the best learning tools available," said Tim Cook, Apple's executive vice president of Worldwide Sales and Operations. "The addition of 30,000 iBooks will do much to help provide students with necessary 21st century skills."
