Reader use in the classroom

[adair]

Here's a link to a Princeton study on use of the Kindle in a university class setting. It has the advantages and disadvantages you'd expect. The materials used were provided by the instructor, and there's no DRM issues. Students were able to move the materials onto a PC if they wanted to. Not being able to do that to back up ebook purchases is my biggest objection to the current ebook sales. We get to keep our paper copies; why can't we insure that we can keep our digital copies? Anyway, this study has interesting results
