<p>I read an interesting story once about professors who tried to have cheaper textbooks (not as many unnecessary full color pictographs, no DVDs or CDs of the material, etc) and they had to stop because professors felt that books that were that affordable must not be good choices for their course. Weird, huh? </p>
<p>I don’t think that in terms of technology or price point the Kindle is quite there yet as a textbook reader. The highlighting function is a major issue, as is the general catalog, the note taking function (good, but slow). I love my Kindle to read on. Love, love, LOVE it. But I never considered using it for homework.</p>
