[KindleKid]

Hello,

So I got the Kindle at the 359.99 price reduction from what it originally was (399.99 right?). I'm realizing more and more that perhaps the price of the Kindle is due to the whispernet. A very revolutionary piece of tech for the reader. I find myself, however, never using it. I send my stuff to the Kindle through USB via PDFRead and simple .txt. I've only bought one ebook through Amazon and I don't subscribe to any magazines.

I'm considering selling it and getting a new ebook reader better suited for my needs. I'd still want an e-ink reader. But I'm not sure if I should sell this yet. The other reason I bought this is because Amazon usually has the best source for books and I was hoping to start buying my text books as ebooks. Would it still be good to hang on to the Kindle because of the .azw exclusive format? I mean I'd hate to get a Sony reader only to find that all of my text books for school are amazon exclusive.

I think I also read that there's going to be a Kindle geared towards students. Is this hardware going to be the same or is the ebook library simply going to have more text books? Any students here use ebook readers and think they know which one is best? If all I'm paying for is the whispernet when I bought my Kindle, I'd love to know which ebook reader is best for students!
