The higher education area is one spot I am really surprised that they aren't pushing ebooks harder. I am in the library of my university now, and someone was asking me about my reader because he was wanting one for classes, but he hated how the price scheme and DRM was. The ones with timed expiration were a huge turn off for him. It just isn't worth it to buy ebooks right now in that area.
