Here's why I think what Amazon is doing is a remarkably bad idea. Amazon wants to move the Kindle into the schools, correct?? They have made it rather clear that they would like to see students using Kindles for their textbooks.

A bit of a side note on my part:
I think using any digital reader for intensive school classroom purposes IS A BAD, BAD IDEA. In the classroom, one needs to be able to flip back and forth from various pages to various marked pages easily. And especially in college, from one book to the other. No digital reader has an interface that facilitates this easily. A digital reader only allows for one page of one item to be displayed at a time. This is very limiting.
That said, as a scholar, I am in the process of putting all my PDFs on my digital reader. But, I don't need to use it in the way that a student would in the classroom. In addition, I also write notes to things I read in a physical book.
Digital reader in the classroom, a horribly stupid and slow idea. Don't do it. Use physical books.
