Still a cover is needed if they will be placed in backpacks. And I dont see any mention of those provided.
Plus, printed textbooks are available.

And apparently
60% chose to utilize the insurance, of which 20 claims have already been filed. Twenty out of 2,100 students (or the approximately 1,260 with insurance) isn't bad, but we're still only a month in. I also think it's funny that the guy quoted in the article calls the screens "demagnetized." The writer completely failed to dig around a little and print what the actual problem with the screens is, i.e. a broken substrate. Poor journalism. But interesting article, nonetheless. I thought students wouldn't like using Kindles to study, but this story makes it seem as though they find the advantages to outweigh the disadvantages. Good for them!
