had outsold than paper books. This trend of going digital does【M1】______
not hold true for all books: While many popular consumer
books have successfully made the switch into the new form,【M2】______

gaining, consequently, as publishers take advantage of the【M4】______
popularity of tablets like the Kindle and iPad, expanding their
catalogues and offering products like rent digital books that【M5】______
expire after a semester or two.

experiment products that stretch the boundaries of traditional【M6】______

research company based in New Jersey, about 5 percent of all
textbooks required in the autumn in the United States were【M10】______
digital textbooks. That is more than double the 2.1 percent of
the spring semester.
