Researchers at the University of Washington have found that, while useful, Kindles (specifically that larger Kindles DX) aren't all that popular with students - yet. Their issues, arguably, are UI problems including the need for a "skimmable" abstract of content and better note-taking systems. However, to be fair, Amazon and B&N could fix those problems in a heartbeat.
?Most e-readers were designed for leisure reading ? think romance novels on the beach,? said co-author Charlotte Lee, a UW assistant professor of Human Centered Design and Engineering. ?We found that reading is just a small part of what students are doing. And when we realize how dynamic and complicated a process this is, it kind of redefines what it means to design an e-reader.?
