Kindle

I read my first assigned book on my Kindle2 this week, it was Free Culture, and as appropriate I was able to obtain the book for free-and Amazon even converted to the Kindle format for free.

Jury is out. I used the highlighting feature to both highlight and make notes and I was able to review all that I highlighted in a summary format that was great, but I found it cumbersome to scroll around for page numbers for citations. I'm not sure if it was more efficient than thumbing through a book for what I previously highlighted, but if was great to have it with me in such a compact version while I was traveling on Friday.

I'm going to give it another shot next term. I orginally thought that I would put all my books on my Kindle, but I'm not ready to make that leap yet...
