Personally at Uni, I would have loved to have had a dedicated reader.
Would have saved me from having to print a ton of articles and studies that were 'required reading'. not to mention all the articles read as research for assignments.
And that as a business student. My friends in literature tended to groan at the no of books they had to carry around and read.
And I was the more concious one in my group, only printing what i really needed, doing most of the reading on my laptop.
The other major problem, besides the lack of knowledge of E-readers, is the problem of getting content onto it.
Most articles available from the major online sources tends to be in PDF, and even in that, non OCR'd PDF, often just straight scans of the journal article. and for most non literature students, that tends to be a large part of the reading required.
Finally, as mentioned by other posters, it has to be easy to get content onto it. Cos a large part of the battle for acceptence will be the ease of use, and the availibilty of content.
