And then there is the still hefty price tag of e-book devices... unless Amazon manages to get it down considerably, I don't think students will find much professional love for it.
I don't think its price, how much did you pay for you macbook? See there is not such a small payment readiness as one would think. The problem is much more, the device is not really that usefull in college everyday... Without a pen like the iLiad has, I don't see it to be useful at all that much
