Would Students Even Want a Kindle for Textbooks? - ReadWriteWeb

Reading textbooks is a very different activity from reading a regular book. Students, hopefully, don't just read the text, but actively take notes, highlight sections, and annotate their texts. While the Kindle offers some of these functions, the absence of a touchscreen makes for a rather clunky experience.
In addition, students who use notetaking software would probably also want to be able to copy-and-paste text and images from their eBooks to their favorite software (Microsoft has been pushing its OneNote application heavily on college campuses, for example). Kindle eBooks also won't allow users to print any part of the text.
With a dedicated hardware device like the Kindle, students lose all of these abilities and gain relatively little compared to using the laptops they already own.
