There are some standards required by the National Standards Code. These requirements are intended to streamline the standards across the entire nation, and make life easier for people in the long run. One example is that the computer, and ebook reader will use an SD card to storing personal files. Since all supported computers must have an SD card reader. this means they can transfer files quickly and easily without the need to connect to a network. The ebook reader using micro-SD card to store the books will again allow for the student and faculty to transfer files between devices without need of worry for hardware specs.
