And, I should have added, get the college students used to e-readers for their textbooks, and they’ll be the launching point for widespread adoption for regular commercial use.

...get the college students used to e-readers for their textbooks,...

Apparently at least some of the teachers unions are fighting ereaders for textbooks.
May have something to do w/ royalties. Most of the textbooks are written by teachers/professors.
Royalties could go to zilch.

The ereader idea seems logical though. Logic is foreign in education.

The main problem with Readers for college books is you can't highlight them.

My daughter is in grad school and she can't use her reader for textbooks. She adores it for regular reading, though.
