Another use, one that I can think of off the top of my head, would be to issue e-readers to grade school children, or have children buy their own for required reading. Especially when the devices become cheaper, which they will. It'll be like having a calculator for advanced math. There will probably be other uses as well. what do you guys see?

I think students would be better off with hybrid tablet/netbooks, so they can snap out the tablet part and read, and snap back in and type notes and write. I don't see standalone tablets or dedicated e-readers as good solutions for students.
