I'm a university student and I use my eDGe all the time, I believe it's fully worth the investment. I receive pdf versions of all my textbooks through disability services at school and so I never carry books with me any more. I take all my notes on the device as well. I set up a vnc server at home and use androidvnc at school so I have a full Linux desktop through the eDGe. I have dropbox installed boy on the server and on my eDGe making file transfer super easy. I am living the dream.
