Once there are some good devices out there that can handle input and dynamic content, I think there'll be more vindication with regard to the school's choice. Kindles are a looong shot from optimal research devices though.

I think it's good that institutions are making better use of book collections and journal collections like JSTOR and what-not...I just disagree about their technology choices. I *could* see something like that stupid-looking Alex reader or the Entourage Edge thing or 3Qi-equipped netbooks, but Kindles?
