Re: ISED: kindle

See this post from earlier in the thread (follow the link and watch the
video that is on that page):

There was an article in yesterday's Wall Street Journal about Case
Western Reserve University in Cleveland, OH providing incoming students
with the new larger Kindle, preloaded with several textbooks.

Barbara,

We have 4 eReaders now (1 Kindle1, 1 Kindle2, 1 Sony eReader, and 1 iRex
iliad). We are planning on buying our library 5 Kinde2's and they will
do some collection development so they can make them available in
September.=20
Still some concerns on a number issues (licenses, notes, etc.). However
we think they will be a great resource for students.

Thanks...............................................Dan
