Librarians- don't quake in your loafers just yet.
Enter the slender Kindle, allowing you to carry hundreds of titles in a tiny frame that, unbelievably, has the same effect as reading off a page -- it's like magic. The overall feeling is that the Kindle is a leap in the right direction. The...
Excellent high-contrast screen does a great job of simulating a printed page; large library of tens of thousands of e-books, newspapers, magazines, and blogs via Amazon's familiar online store; built-in free wireless "Whispernet" data network--no PC neede...
Design is ergonomic, but not very elegant; pricing for nearly all the content seems too high, especially considering the periodicals and blogs are available for free online; black-and-white screen is fine for books, but less impressive for periodicals and...

Going through university, I spent far too much money on textbooks. For some courses, I was able to save a few bucks by going through the used route, but for so many other courses, the professor made us get the latest edition. Yes, having a new cover and a...
