e-Books are supported on many more platforms which means more schools will support them. I've bought way too many books for $120-$150 that I sell back for like $40... I'd much rather keep a digital copy and save more money]]>Jul 12th 2010 12:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/12/barnes-and-noble-looks-to-lock-down-e-book-delivery-for-education/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/12/barnes-and-noble-looks-to-lock-down-e-book-delivery-for-education/Jul 12th 2010 12:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/12/barnes-and-noble-looks-to-lock-down-e-book-delivery-for-education/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/12/barnes-and-noble-looks-to-lock-down-e-book-delivery-for-education/iBooks' notes and annotations are searchable already.

[yes, weird combo, but AT&T sucks]) and probably will like it with this app on my computer as well. Textbooks would be great in that kind of ecosystem.]]>Jul 12th 2010 1:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/12/barnes-and-noble-looks-to-lock-down-e-book-delivery-for-education/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/12/barnes-and-noble-looks-to-lock-down-e-book-delivery-for-education/
"...not only puts digital textbooks into the hands of students for up to 40 percent less than conventional books..."

O RLY? I've almost always seen digital copies for less. But besides that, not having to have the actual book(s) in your bag are much more valuable to me than selling the book back. carrying 20+ lbs LESS of bio-chem, Java, philosophy and whatever, every day to and from campus is worth much more than the refund IMO.]]>Jul 12th 2010 1:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/12/barnes-and-noble-looks-to-lock-down-e-book-delivery-for-education/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/12/barnes-and-noble-looks-to-lock-down-e-book-delivery-for-education/
Also, "full library of study aids, test prep guides, periodicals, and hundreds of thousands of trade and professional titles"

Really killer features for this device! Only thing I hope it would have would be a built-in digitizer a-la Thinkpad w700; it would make a lot of sense for us engineering students who have to write a carpal-tunnel-inducing number of integrals per day.]]>Jul 12th 2010 1:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/12/barnes-and-noble-looks-to-lock-down-e-book-delivery-for-education/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/12/barnes-and-noble-looks-to-lock-down-e-book-delivery-for-education/Aug 5th 2010 10:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/12/barnes-and-noble-looks-to-lock-down-e-book-delivery-for-education/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/12/barnes-and-noble-looks-to-lock-down-e-book-delivery-for-education/Jul 12th 2010 12:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/12/barnes-and-noble-looks-to-lock-down-e-book-delivery-for-education/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/12/barnes-and-noble-looks-to-lock-down-e-book-delivery-for-education/Jul 12th 2010 12:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/12/barnes-and-noble-looks-to-lock-down-e-book-delivery-for-education/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/12/barnes-and-noble-looks-to-lock-down-e-book-delivery-for-education/Jul 12th 2010 5:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/12/barnes-and-noble-looks-to-lock-down-e-book-delivery-for-education/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/12/barnes-and-noble-looks-to-lock-down-e-book-delivery-for-education/Jul 12th 2010 12:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/12/barnes-and-noble-looks-to-lock-down-e-book-delivery-for-education/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/12/barnes-and-noble-looks-to-lock-down-e-book-delivery-for-education/Jul 12th 2010 12:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/12/barnes-and-noble-looks-to-lock-down-e-book-delivery-for-education/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/12/barnes-and-noble-looks-to-lock-down-e-book-delivery-for-education/Jul 12th 2010 12:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/12/barnes-and-noble-looks-to-lock-down-e-book-delivery-for-education/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/12/barnes-and-noble-looks-to-lock-down-e-book-delivery-for-education/My first thought was that it was a dual screen e-reader for textbooks.

The Dual screen tablets or slates would work well as well. The textbook on one screen where you can highlight and annotate, and the other screen you can make notes and whatnot. Its what I dream about...]]>Jul 12th 2010 12:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/12/barnes-and-noble-looks-to-lock-down-e-book-delivery-for-education/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/12/barnes-and-noble-looks-to-lock-down-e-book-delivery-for-education/
That would indeed be nice, but I'd still like a keyboard so I'll have the option to type notes. If said keyboard could fold up out of the way for a more tablet like experience then even better.]]>Jul 12th 2010 2:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/12/barnes-and-noble-looks-to-lock-down-e-book-delivery-for-education/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/12/barnes-and-noble-looks-to-lock-down-e-book-delivery-for-education/Jul 12th 2010 12:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/12/barnes-and-noble-looks-to-lock-down-e-book-delivery-for-education/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/12/barnes-and-noble-looks-to-lock-down-e-book-delivery-for-education/Jul 12th 2010 12:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/12/barnes-and-noble-looks-to-lock-down-e-book-delivery-for-education/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/12/barnes-and-noble-looks-to-lock-down-e-book-delivery-for-education/Jul 12th 2010 12:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/12/barnes-and-noble-looks-to-lock-down-e-book-delivery-for-education/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/12/barnes-and-noble-looks-to-lock-down-e-book-delivery-for-education/Jul 12th 2010 12:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/12/barnes-and-noble-looks-to-lock-down-e-book-delivery-for-education/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/12/barnes-and-noble-looks-to-lock-down-e-book-delivery-for-education/Jul 12th 2010 3:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/12/barnes-and-noble-looks-to-lock-down-e-book-delivery-for-education/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/12/barnes-and-noble-looks-to-lock-down-e-book-delivery-for-education/Jul 12th 2010 4:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/12/barnes-and-noble-looks-to-lock-down-e-book-delivery-for-education/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/12/barnes-and-noble-looks-to-lock-down-e-book-delivery-for-education/Cell Bio and Organic Chem this fall.

TBH I think that's where the eBook biz model should be going, especially since it effectively kills the resale market.]]>Jul 12th 2010 2:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/12/barnes-and-noble-looks-to-lock-down-e-book-delivery-for-education/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/12/barnes-and-noble-looks-to-lock-down-e-book-delivery-for-education/Jul 12th 2010 2:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/12/barnes-and-noble-looks-to-lock-down-e-book-delivery-for-education/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/12/barnes-and-noble-looks-to-lock-down-e-book-delivery-for-education/
Guess it's brand nonsense for now until they actually provide a Nook device. Although this seems like the perfect thing for the iPad, not an eInk reader. At least B&N would be saved by having a fast color screen for browsing, unlike the Kindle DX.

Sounds like something that will be relevant in about two years unless they subsidize the cost of a 300-400 dollar large-format eReader. So maybe this is merely a head start to outdo Amazon.]]>Jul 12th 2010 2:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/12/barnes-and-noble-looks-to-lock-down-e-book-delivery-for-education/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/12/barnes-and-noble-looks-to-lock-down-e-book-delivery-for-education/Jul 12th 2010 2:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/12/barnes-and-noble-looks-to-lock-down-e-book-delivery-for-education/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/12/barnes-and-noble-looks-to-lock-down-e-book-delivery-for-education/Jul 12th 2010 4:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/12/barnes-and-noble-looks-to-lock-down-e-book-delivery-for-education/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/12/barnes-and-noble-looks-to-lock-down-e-book-delivery-for-education/Jul 12th 2010 9:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/12/barnes-and-noble-looks-to-lock-down-e-book-delivery-for-education/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/12/barnes-and-noble-looks-to-lock-down-e-book-delivery-for-education/Jul 12th 2010 10:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/12/barnes-and-noble-looks-to-lock-down-e-book-delivery-for-education/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/12/barnes-and-noble-looks-to-lock-down-e-book-delivery-for-education/Jul 13th 2010 10:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/12/barnes-and-noble-looks-to-lock-down-e-book-delivery-for-education/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/12/barnes-and-noble-looks-to-lock-down-e-book-delivery-for-education/
