We're talking about a very new technology and one which the existing devices haven't really been designed with the student in mind. Also it seems that publishers don't yet understand what they're dealing with and I fear they'll continue to apply outmoded models coupled with whatever wacky new idea sounds good to them without applying actual thought and investigation into the realities of the things.
I'm inclined to think a netbook with a 10"+ screen might be the better choice for the moment. At least until someone sits down designs and brings to market an eink device that addresses the various methodologies of note-taking and other related needs of modern students.
