Kindle Failed Tests at Several Colleges. Will iPads Do Better?, By Jeff Young, Chronicle of Higher Education

Reed was one of seven campuses to run a similar experiment with Kindles in partnership with Amazon—and students largely gave that device a failing grade. Now some of the same campuses plan to try the test with Apple’s iPad, and the tough question is whether this device passes.”
