Just wondering if you can buy college textbooks on Amazon and read the light.

, I’m seriously considering buying a Kindle this semester to use for my textbooks. Any advice for you is much appreciated, because I can look at this. I’m looking in particular at these manufacturers, but can not figure out if their format will be supported in Kindle textbooks. com – http://www. Textbooks. com / Smart – First http://www.

Our good buddies from CNET’s The 404 stop by to wax philisophically about Amazon’s new biggie Kindle. Specifically, the crew sees it as a bad fit for regular commuters (along with themselves) but Justin posits that students could see a real appeal, though there are still some operational issues to work out. We also talk Windows 7′s RC release, with the trio seeing the new free release as something to almost ignore. Jeff hopes for a return to the “glory days” of Windows 2000 and XP, while Wilson cant find a way to get excited about explaining the difference between Windows 7 and Vista. [sidenote, you'll notice some technical issues. We were trying something new, so we had some slight problems. Thanks for being understanding!]
