Kindle for Every student? Why not an ipod Touch instead?

The cart before the horse?  My son is attending college.  Not one textbook is available on the Kindle yet.  Before we spend $ providing each student with a kindle, don’t we have to ensure that the textbooks are actually available?  Also, the textbooks are easily loaded onto ipod Touch or ipod Phone.

I have a Kindle.  Do I recommend it?  Yes.  I do.  However, before we buy one for every college student, let’s stop and consider, “Will this work?”
