That's friggin' awesome. Yes.

The Kindles look to come with a shell case of some kind, with an extra padded layer on one side that the screen would be cushioned by. I'm sure there will be screen casualties eventually, but I don't think it'll be an enormous issue.

1. These kids have *nothing.* Having an ereader is like being given a box of gold. I bet they treat it a lot better than Western kids do.

2. Even with the occasional broken screen, it's probably still cheaper and has a broader reach to more kids than a physical library would.
