It not only has Amazon drooling, it has my SON drooling. He's fallen in love with my EZ Reader and now wants an ebook reader of his own. Considering most of his carry on weight for the plane trip up here was taken up in books (physical ones), I can see why he wants one.
However, he's going into 8th grade, and is pretty good about taking care of his electronics.
I can't see this as a viable solution for every student K-12. I might buy my son an ebook reader, but it won't be a Kindle if I do. And I wouldn't do it if he weren't as careful as he is about the stuff he loves.
