College students disappointed with Amazon Kindle DX as a textbook replacement Tainted Green
College curriculums and printed textbooks have gone hand-in-hand for a long time, and it looks like that will be the case for a while longer. Feedback was recently published from college students who participated in an experiment that replaced traditional textbooks with an Amazon Kindle DX. That would provide an obvious benefit of fewer things to carry around, and the potential of reducing how much paper is pushed through the education ecosystem.
To sum it up, the Kindle DX didn’t work well as a textbook replacement , primarily because of a loss in productivity and ease of use. Reading textbooks is a much different exercise than reading for leisure because it usually requires note taking. The Kindle DX allows for that through annotations in the margins but students complained that the keypad made for slow text entry.
They were also unhappy that only one book could display at a time. Navigating between multiple texts required opening each one on the device as needed which is a form of multitasking that many mobile devices accommodate now. Palm’s WebOS and Google’s Android are two good examples where multitasking takes place regularly. Amazon will need to match the pace of mobile phones in that arena, particularly if it expects to compete with Apple’s iPad.
Amazon Kindle DX announced: $489, ships this summer
digg_url = 'http://digg.com/gadgets/Official_Amazon_Kindle_DX_is_9_7_inches_489'; Just as with the Kindle 2, Amazon posted the Kindle DX product page while the launch event was underway. Specs-wise, there's not much here we didn't know: the big changes are a larger 9.7-inch screen that rotates to landscape display, a PDF reader, and more storage space at 3.3GB. The big news is actually the flat $489 price tag, which seems on the high-side of realistic to us -- although the subsidy-pricing rumors weren't totally inaccurate, as the New York Times, Washington Post, and Boston Globe will offer subsidized on-contract Kindles to customers who can't get at-home delivery when the DX ships this summer. (Yes, that's a pretty lame restriction.) Amazon's also announcing a wide range of textbook publishing partnerships, with tomes from Addison-Wesley, Wiley Higher Education, Longman & Prentice Hall and many others available -- and what's more, Arizona State, Case Western Reserve, Princeton, Reed, and Darden School of Business at the University of Virginia have all signed on to distribute "hundreds" of Kindle DXs to students this fall. We're hunting for more info, stay tuned.
