Kindles Come to Classroom in Ghana
,----[ Quote ]
| This is the idea behind the Worldreader
| project, which has just put 20 Kindles into
| a school of 11 to 14-year-olds. I know what
| youâre thinking: Whatâs wrong with paper
| books? Why do they need this expensive,
| fancy gadgetry? Because paper books take a
| long time to replace. These schools are on
| a 5-year book-renewal cycle right now. A
| Kindle, although pricy to start,
| essentially gives access to thousands of
| free, public domain books.

Alex eReader set to ship two weeks after iPad
,----[ Quote ]
| Spring Design's Alex eReader is one of
| those products that probably would have
| gotten a lot more attention had it managed
| to come out before Apple's iPad. However,
| as it stands, the $399 Android-powered
| device, which features both a 6-inch e-ink
| display and a 3.5-inch, 16-bit color touch-
| screen LCD, is scheduled to ship in the
| middle of April and threatens to get
| overshadowed by the iPad's arrival on April
| 3.
