princeton students have been using the kindle...

>   after two weeks of use in three classes,
>   the Daily Princetonian reports many are
>   "dissatisfied and uncomfortable" with their
>   e-readers, with one student calling it
>   "a poor excuse of an academic tool."
>   Most of the criticisms center around
>   the Kindle's weak annotation features,
>   which make things like highlighting and
>   margin notes almost impossible to use,
>   but even a simple thing like the lack of
>   true page numbers has caused problems,
>   since allowing students to cite the Kindle's
>   location numbers in their papers is
>   "meaningless for anyone working from
>   analog books."
