I think people who wanted the newest reader because it is the newest reader aren't much put off by the prices of most models. Those like myself, who are budget conscious and would be in need of the credit probably intend to keep our readers until they don't work anymore, so a lot of readers on their last legs. The finances wouldn't work unless you could get the manufacturers to donate the discounts so they weren't an actual expense to you.

Sounds academic to me, the OP seems to have vanished.

In an earlier post, I mentioned the work that the non-profit literacy organization WorldReader is doing in Africa. For those who are interested, I just ran across and interesting article about the organization in the NRP Parallels blog: http://www.npr.org/blogs/parallels/2...veloping-world

Interesting enough, although 12,000 children with ereaders seems such a small drop in the bucket. That is perhaps 50 villages or one medium sized town. Still must start somewhere.
