This is the front page story in todays St Petersburg Times newspaper. Subtitle: Forget books: Every student will get an 3-reader next year. Astudent is pictured holding a Kindle 2. These e-readers will come with all the text books needed already pre-loaded on the device. Amazon will provide devices to all 2100 students. The school's 100 teachers have already been issued devices. This is great news for e-reader users! Wonder if Steve Jobs will do anything like this with his overpriced and overblown I Pad.
