Different situation, but I wonder what schools can glean from this scenario.

As a technology for delivering the news, newsprint isn't just expensive and inefficient; it's laughably so.
Reemplazar periodicos impresos por medios digitales
El costo de enviarle un Kindle gratis a cada uno de los 830.000 suscriptores del periódico es la mitad de lo que cuesta imprimir el periódico durante un año (297 millones vs. 644 millones).
While unlikely, this just jumps up at me. As Josh wrote in the diigo notes for the page, what if we did this for schools?
Wouldn't it be great to get a free Kindle?
it costs the Times about twice as much money to print and deliver the newspaper over a year as it would cost to send each of its subscribers a brand new Amazon Kindle instead.

Josh,
I agree. I often think of how much money we would save on texts and other ancillary materials if we did this. It might bring the house down though.
