Kindles are awesome. I've got the original, my daughter has the 2.
Look for colleges to go "Kindle-based" over the next several years, where each class has to ensure the textbook is available via Kindle. Book costs will drop by 75% in that scenario. Imagine your kids not carrying around 3 5 lb. textbooks in their backpacks. Here's the best part: if you lose it (or it gets stolen), you can regain all the books that were stored on it. And since you can password protect it... there's less incentive for thieves to take it.
You'll see more of them in the future.
