Apparently the text book experiments are going ahead for 2009.

The most telling statement in this story (for me) was:

"While Kindle is the market leader, no single electronic device for viewing books, known as a "reader," has emerged as the industry standard. E-books used to be mainly available by downloading them onto a computer or viewing them over the Web. Now, several smaller devices are available, including the Kindle and the Sony Reader. More are in development, including one by Hewlett-Packard."

Anyone know about a H-P reader? Or will it be another netbook reader?
