The feedback been extremely revealing; the overall mixed reaction of the Kindle from both students and professors is nothing short of reassuring to the management and advisors at TxtBk.
Why? Because we’ve been saying all along that the reason a device like the Kindle won’t work for education is because all it does is replace the physical textbook with a digital one. What it doesn’t do is significantly change the way students use and share these resources. In other words, considerations need to be made to make a device applicable to this extremely specialized content and marketplace.
