Back to high school. It seems like the high school texts are going to be limited. If, however, you need to read entire classic books, the eDGe may be a good fit. If you are reading The Illiad, for example, you can have one version on the eInk side and have another version, a dictionary, a summary, a video, etc on the lcd side to help with various parts and nuances of the book.

The eDGe is also really good for marking up the text, you can add notes, highlight, add links, etc as you are reading. For class note-taking, I think it depends on your note-taking style. *I* tended to underestimate the amount of space needed and got a 0.3 mm pencil to help me write ever smaller. So, the eDGe would not have been a good fit for me in taking notes. Perhaps it would be fine for you, I don't know.
