And don't forget Mirasol.

2) Russian schools are doing EXPERIMENTS involving just some classes at a time. Russ schools are not going to widely adopt any of the currently sold ereaders. First, because none of them is ready for K12 schools (both software and hardware-side). Second, because they're all far too pricey for schools. Third, textbooks are not ready enough. Fourth, teachers are not ready to make a wide use of digital devices at school, as they can become like boomerangs. You do not make a so big investment if you haven't any idea of what you get in return. That's why we still need to experiment and evaluate.

I can guarantee you, in no K12-equivalent in the world there will be a wide use of current e-ink devices.
