Kindle DX hitting some University Snags
It seems that the kindle DX isn't as popular with students as Amazon might have hoped. The photo of the book looks exactly like some of my reference books.
CNET article Do Kindles (and other e-readers) need better ways to annotate?
Quote:
An interesting report from Princeton University regarding its pilot program to test Kindle DX units in an academic environment has revealed something notable: namely, that Kindles still feel awkward to students currently in college. Feedback from some students complained about the Kindle's annotation system being "too slow" to keep up with the thinking of a reader who wants to effortlessly mark up text. Others called the entire Kindle device "a poor excuse for an academic tool."
