Now.........tell me again how this saves money?
It might not save as much money as projected, but that's just Ghiz's opinion - she doesn't seem to be a big fan of the whole idea. And even though it's painful, notes can be taken on the Kindle too. She also thinks accessories will need to be bought separately, though the article says

The city will pay a one-time purchasing cost of $7,200 for the 10 units and accessories, plus an additional $120 a month fee.
I wonder what the $120 a month fee is - wireless charges? amortized insurance?

Successful or not, this is going to be one interesting experiment!
