Remember the Amazon Kindle DX? That is the huge eBook reader from Amazon that’s just like the Kindle only bigger and geared toward college student use? Well there’s a study underway at Princeton University to see how well students adapt to the gigantic eBook reader. As may be expected there’s been a period of adjustment. Although people have remarked that they can read for a longer period of time with the e-Ink pages – several students are complaining about the lack of note taking and page flipping. A pretty good summary of the experiences would be:

“Much of my learning comes from a physical interaction with the text: bookmarks, highlights, page-tearing, sticky notes and other marks representing the importance of certain passages — not to mention margin notes, where most of my paper ideas come from and interaction with the material occurs,” he explained. “All these things have been lost, and if not lost they’re too slow to keep up with my thinking, and the ‘features’ have been rendered useless.”
