Maybe the 120 are all like my two JBLs that only need reseting as part of
the firmware update process.

Perhaps in a place where a school appreciates getting 120 ereaders, the
students might be more careful, might treasure the opportunity more.

Can you imagine trying to get a school in the states to accept the use of
such devices in even a single class? I wish our overpaid "Educators" would
be as open to such innovation. (They aren't listening to any proposals that
don't involve hundreds of thousands of dollars and a kickback to the union.)
[The dilettantes of the progressive set are snorting at my use of "aren't" and
"don't" and ignoring the truth of my observation.]

Getting such ereaders to students, that actually have some real motivation
to use them, for as little as that cost, sounds like a lot of bang for the buck,
to me. Even at $100 a piece that's only $12,000 at 1/2 price $6,000.

Luck;
