I know the Kindle is in a completely different league compared to the Sony 500 that I had, but it is still hard to use it in a college classroom where you need to quickly flip between pages and jot down notes just as quickly. All of this even more so when you have a huge textbook and not just a little novel.

I agree. I think the Kindle is better at getting from point A to point B in a book but even so, eink hasn't developed enough to make for quick hopping around. If I wanted to use e-books in a classroom setting (and I'm sure I will when I'm out of the navy) I would use a laptop. Or maybe get something like an Eee PC for that purpose. Hopping around an e-book works pretty well on an LCD screen.
