LOL!!

Well, there is one way Irex, or any other e-book maker could get millions of people using the devices. They could cut deals with texbook publishers and school districts. They can offer discounted units to hold all of their text books on them. Perhaps make them a bit more rugged. Not only would they be saving kids backs from those oversized back packs, but they would have a whole generation of kids used to reading on e-ink devices who would probably continue reading on them long after their school days are over.
