How will Entourage deal with specialized student bookstores? The university I attend has Barnes n' Noble as the school's textbook provider, and I'm pretty certain that BnN would much rather display it's Nook over the Entourage eDGe, especially now that the financial aid money has been distributed to students. When I did happen to visit the school bookstore, all I could see were a few HP laptops and dozens of Nooks in the electronics section, so I really think Entourage will have to step up its advertising game if it wants to be considered as a contender in the currently-raging "E-reader Wars".

If Entourage could get with used textbook stores, that's a good way to help out with eDGe sales considering the ridiculous cost of textbooks these days. Also, if Gelaskin or DecalGirl offered school color or mascot skins, that would be definitely be in the eDGe's favor as well!
