Amazon Kindle flunked by college students

Article on El Reg here

Very brief summary - physical books better for coursework (flicking through, scribbling on, etc), Kindle good for reading for pleasure:

Quote:
One interesting stat from the survey puts the results in clear perspective: 80 per cent of MBA students at the University of Viginia said they wouldn't recommend the Kindle DX as a study aid — but 90 per cent enjoyed using it to read for pleasure.
