The e-reader Kindle from Amazon is a success out of the gate! This is exciting, since Sony's e-reader was a bit of a flop. I'm ready. Lets switch all textbooks to electronic format tomorrow. $500 a student. How much do we currently spend on textbooks for 6 subjects?
By the by, a nice review of the kindle

We spend a huge amount of money on textbooks. I have been saying for years that department teachers should create their own electronic course textbook and that they should be paid to do this as summer curriculum projects. Imagine the possibilities..interactive, relevent, always current, links to the best resources on the Net, information literacy would become a way of life for our students and teachers, no more forgetting the textbook. But the best part is..nothing is preventing this from being done right now except that you would do it on your own time...
