better choice
netbook : 300 USD
podcast lectures
non-DRM'ed HTML textbooks
JPEGs
STUDY & LEARNING AREAS NEED MAINS POWER FOR EACH USER

Monochrome LCD :
great readability in sunlight + roomlight but not dimlight
too bad OLPC has small keyboard

Availability of textbooks in required format :
ask previous students of similar local courses what e-books they use

$100 text books for each course :
unless content is creative commons , publishers will still demand the $100

paper books have great bandwidth

e-books have great search

Fujitsu color e-book uses e-paper: Still far short of perfection

google : Fujitsu FLEP

what are the learning scenarios ? ("use-cases")
reading expository text : palm IIIxe with plucker would suffice
interactive diagrams : firefox browser
lectures with diagrams : ipod .M4Bs

cheapest in analog paper : color pictures

FLEPia verification test at Cafe "Termina Kinshicho Fujiya Restaurant"
