Amazon Kindle Lightens Textbook Load, But Flaws Remain

Amazon wants to adapt the Kindle to academia, where it could reduce the notoriously high cost of textbooks. The Kindle DX, with a larger screen than the regular model, costs $489, but digital books can cost less than half what physical ones do.
While it might be the future of textbooks, Amazon or any other e-reader company has a long way to go to make it happen — even for a technology-saturated generation that should be more receptive to the shift.
