Yes, dwallbaum, good points. I too like my electronic devices to be specialized, not broadly multifunctional. It will interesting to see how the Kindle morphs.
I suspect that when a 8"x10" eink display becomes available that the market for student etextbooks will boom, even if there is no difference in price from traditional paper versions. Don't know how the inability (now) to somehow resell the books after they are used by the original student would play out but I'll bet Amazon could work out a trade-in scheme.
