Last fall, students at seven universities used the first-generation Kindle DX in place of traditional textbooks and then reported on the classroom effectiveness of the 9.7-inch e-book reader. Many found that it didn't suit their study habits, citing the difficulty of using the keyboard, and the cumbersomeness of moving back and forth through the pages.
