As a mother of a son who had a reading disablity, one of the things the special schools recommended was listening to a book in audio while following with your eyes written text. I used to have to find books in audio cassettes that went along with written text for my son to keep up in class. Finding the audio version of many books was hard to come by. The Kindle 2 has the ability to read the written text and also to turn the pages along with it. So I say it is a great learning tool and much cheaper than the audio special equipment I had bought years ago even if I had to add the cost of insurance as I think the Kindle is easily dropped and broken.

Out of US customers are able to add content to their Kindle2 through their computer as wispernet does not work out of the country.
