Hey,
Going to college soon, just wondering if their is a way that the Kindle or Nook or if any other reader will work with the college textbooks?

Any help would be great, or if you know of a site where you can check?

Thanks,

As of now, you cannot buy textbooks from Barnes and Noble. However, Amazon does have a wide selection of them.

Neither available in eBook format from Amazon. But you'll be marking up the Java book with notes aplenty!

>> ... you cannot buy textbooks from Barnes and Noble ...

Would you please elaborate? There are scores if not hundreds of college book list titles all over B&N.

Really? Last I heard, B&N didn't have any at all. But, I never checked myself
