I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that students are just going to skip the $500 kindle part of this plan.
- jkincaid 17y agoI don't think so. You've been able to get PDF versions of many books (both textbooks and novels) for a few years. I've never met anyone who actually printed one out or read an entire book from their computer, save for maybe a leaked Harry Potter book.
- ramchip 17y agoAs a student, I can say that the point isn't always to read the whole book: the kind of textbook you'd want in a PDF form tends to be large reference books which you can search quickly in a PDF reader. But I'm used to working and reading whole books on the screen, and believe it or not there are quite a few legal ones: for example I work with a few art books whose copyright has expired a long time ago, and I read a lot of research papers in PDF.
