Just not to feel always on OT, thinking at something appropriate at the topic, do you think schools will ever adopt ereaders, instead charging kids whitin 15/20 Kg of backpacks?
Last year a guy on work experience, after having made a season on a kitchen, bought 300$ of books for the next school's year, the professor said him the list wasn't done correctly the past year, and he has to buy others books (omg). |
There are schools with no books. We have some in Limerick. Sadly they use iPads which the parents have to buy. The pupils/students never get to keep the books. Admittedly most cheap (not all) Android tablets are not suitable.
Other schools (often in USA) use Chromebooks.
The Kindle DX/DXG was initially aimed at 3rd level education. It was a failure and Amazon sold them off cheap.
I don't believe any eink reader is suitable. Also there is the problem of DRM and the fact that textbooks are usually PDF.
It's a reasonable goal.
