When I first saw the Kindle, I was in love. Cheap books, lifetime access to them and computer-like functions of searching, highlighting, etc. seemed to me like a great idea. Whenever I spoke about the Kindle, I got that glazed over look from friends who were just thinking, “he’s just a gadget obsessed freak.” At one point, while I was trying to plead the case for Kindle, I said it would be great if text books were available on Kindle because then a college student could spend the $360 for a kindle and the $10 per book each semester instead of $400+ each semester for books.
Supporting my theory that I am bugged, it looks as if Amazon is going to pursue the student version of Kindle.
