Business & Technology Amazon.com's Kindle fails first college test Seattle Times Newspaper
I would have to agree with the girl interviewed. I think it would be tough to study for exams and look things up on a Kindle vs. a textbook. This is disappointing as the Kindle and other such devices would greatly not only paper use but the energy used to produce the book and also transportation issues. I think eventually students will get used to the idea and not need a textbook but I think we're a long way from that point. Hopefully that can just continue to improve upon the technology to make it easier to study from a Kindle. I haven't yet been able to use a Kindle myself but when I use a textbook, I highlight and tab things which I'm not sure what kind of technology the Kindle's have but if I wasn't able to somehow mark and highlight things I would find it hard to use for school.
