Pilot program to use Kindle: paper sustainable

Princeton University, the University of Virginia, Case Western Reserve University, Reed College, Pace University and Arizona State University are all testing the technology in select courses
They are participating in a pilot program using the Kindle to read textbooks
Last May, Amazon launched a new version of the Kindle ,the Kindle DX.
The peculiar peauteres are
1) larger screen designed for textbook
2) larger screen for periodical reading and a better web browser.
This pilot program is putting the new e-reader directly to put on market.
The colleges are hoping this research program will lead to another way for them to improve their sustainability by reducing their use of printed paper. Textbooks and other course materials will be made available online to use the Kindles.
The schools can use this device for textbook but it’s known that if even the Universities will accetpt this way to read textbook will be more important for the infuence of the college respect high schools.
