First thanks for the link, I'm going to pck another nook up for a Christmas gift.
As a stand alone device I will say no tablet is good for students, the PC cannot be beat just yet. However as a supplemental device tu nook is one of the best devices if your willing to install android cm7. Doing so opens so much functionality on your device.
The 7" form factor makes this device portable and small enough that typing with two thumbs is fast.
For reading you'll have to get good readers like RepliGo, EZPDF, Moon+, Mantano.
RepliGo and ezPDF have came a long way most folks who used it give incorrect information because these tools have evolved.
Both those tools allow full annotations and modify the PDF directly so your annotations are viewed on any pdf reader, great for sharing notes with others.
I've been reading PDFs on 4" and 7" devices for years and have no complaints, yes it's easier to vew the whole page on a bigger screen but I don't read a page at a time I read a sentence at a time. Most PDFs reader do a great job re-flowing text.
The area that most tablets sorely lack is in good word processors. There are a few good ones Office and Documents To Go, but they pale compared to a PC word processor.
