I just saw the commercial last week for GM stating that Saturn made quality cars Americans wanted.

Sell a sub par product then complain when the manufacturer goes under and lets you go then act like its a surprise. Such BS...

im taking a course at ucla. its one of those pilot programs where they are trying to fully digitize the textbooks and materials. The electronic version of the textbook was actually 40% cheaper than the printed version. Selling ebooks to students may or may not work. for reference purposes or light usage, it might work, however, if the student needs to dissect the material, the printed version is still better. You cannot compare 6 to 7 books at once like books on a desk. you would need to filp back and forth between digital documents. If you need to draw diagrams, pictures or tables to help you learn, e versions cannot do that yet. in order for the kindle or any ebook device to be successful in the education field, it needs to have an interface that allows the user to deal with multiple documents easily with a fairly flexible note taking function. the publishers will also need to develop their ebooks specifically for digital use so it may take advantage of the functionality and flexibility of the computer. so back to my class, 95% of the students ended up printing out all the materials including the textbook. the e version of the book and materials were great for refs or citations. However, it was in incredibly hard tool for studying. Also we are not allow to take digital notes or highlight the actual text in the e format. the publisher's rationale was for copyright reasons.
