The Wifi Reports Review-Is the Kindle DX the Answer California Education?
The latest and greatest version of Amazon’s ebook reader won’t be bought with chump change. If you want to buy Kindle DX, get ready to pull out the big bucks.
The 10-inch screen on the Kindle DX makes for relaxing reading of PDf documents. Business reports and textbooks are are breeze to tackle as formatting is not a problem.
PDFs are great read with the Kindle DX. With a screen that you can use horizontally or vertically. Now don’t plan on using this device to surf the web, but let’s face it , this is a e-book reader not a place to do a Google search.
The Kindle DX does comes at a price. $490 is a high price to pay in this economy. But California’s Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger wants to have science and math textbooks in digital form for the state’s secondary schools by this fall.
Twenty free math and science e-books will available to secondary teachers soon. Each school will decide the format. Possibilities range from actually printing the content out or a CD version. Called open source, this one change could save the State millions of dollars.
Price is a big issue. If the price could actually be lowered a bit, the Kindle DX could save the education system from bankruptcy. If you are wanting to buy Kindle DX for personal use, grin and bear it.
