Kindle Orientation at UW

Students at a bunch of universities across the country are getting Kindle DX readers as part of a pilot project with Amazon.com. At the University of Washington, more than 30 computer science graduate students are taking part in the pilot, and are just receiving their devices. We sat in on a Kindle DX orientation on UW campus this morning, and talked to a couple students about their expectations for the reader, which they'll be using in various courses. We'll be checking back with them on a regular basis.
