How is this different from going to
https://kindle.amazon.com/?
I have other methodological problems with using ebooks in acadamia though, such as: Is a location # in a academic setting going to hold up? As a masters degree student I haven't tried it (although I've read books for school on my kindle, unfortunately), but I think the prof would want something more accessible than a number that is only available on a certain publication from a certain reader and a certain e-edition (which may or may not be available in the next 6 months because of updates or the book being pulled from e-distribution - which happened to one of the books that I purchased).
Those are the reasons I've never used my kindle for academic purposes.
