Two points of view:

  • from students at the University of Washington(thanks vigilant readers) and
  • from students at Princeton University

    Washington, not Wisconsin

    The first link is about Kindle use at the University of Washington, not Wisconsin.

    Entirely different courses

    I see that the U Wash students are in computer science, and the Princeton ones are in more of a social sciences curriculum. Their textbook needs are thus somewhat different, and their ways of interacting with - or wanting to interact with - the text are different as well. You'll probably find more satisfied CS students than Princeton ones.
