"When schools decide to go digital, it's much more than getting a digital book," said Classbook.com CEO Tony Pfister. "It's a mindset change."
Pfister has watched his prep school text book sales turn the digital corner. One of his clients on the Connecticut side of the Hudson ranks in the top two percent of schools nationwide for Apple use.

Dollar Tree on hold?

Schodack neighbors retain attorney; Dollar Tree puts project on hold

SCHODACK —Neighbors living on land adjacent to a proposed site that could become home to a one-million-square foot Dollar Tree distribution facility off Exit 11 of Interstate 90 in Schodack have formed an association and retained an attorney in their fight against the project.

And their efforts may already have changed its course because Dollar Tree appears to be looking for greener pastures. A spokesperson for the bargain retail chain admitted Tuesday that the company has decided to put the project on hold for 30 days.
