Jon Stewart on Kindle & Ebooks

The part I love:

"You can read with one hand..."

 

[FrecklesAllOver]

I like that for more reasons than just the obvious one...

On the other hand, those Kindle-like devices look really cool. I doubt it would get much use, but I love my tech, and it looks much nicer to read than a screen. If they did PDFs, I could bring quite a library of stuff I should read for school with me. Which might not be the best thing for my mental health..........

I can see how it would be invaluable to students. I remember, I had so many books to carry around in college, my back was killing me all the time. Sucked.

Might be a great inroads... college students who start reading on ereaders may just continue to do so...

Not to mention the cost. The price of books has become obscene!

Yes, education is where you can justify the cost of the thing compared to the cost and schlep of textbooks. Can you highlight with it?, or make margin notes?

And, you could sneak & read smut during class with none the wiser.

ETA: Unless there was visual evidence. Of course, then your classmates might think the textbook turned you on, which would have interesting consequences. Hrm... plot bunny!
