I’ve been wondering lately about how the college used textbook market might be able to be further optimized, but one thing I hadn’t thought of is the obvious possibility of using e-book readers.  Some interesting links on the subject I came across today:

• Amazon to Target $5.5 Billion Textbook Market with New Kindle?, TechCrunch
  
• E-Textbooks — for Real This Time?, Inside Higher Ed

I would tend to think that new formats and distribution methods for textbook e-books are more important than new devices to view them on, considering most college students use their laptops a lot, probably even in class often.
