Universities and Kindle
Nice article in the FT recently on how some US universities have taken part in a pilot programme to test the Kindle DX. With Amazon offering heavy discounts on college text books, this could potentially save students and colleges a lot of money if it is successful. On the environmental front it also looks attractive. Whether students will ditch their school books for the cool gadget is stîll up for debate but theres no denying the convenience, access, and interactivity that such eBooks offer is worth exploring.
