A Kindle (AMZN) for every student?

This is one of the most stupid ideas I've heard in a long time. ROI doesn't make sense at this point, especially when the government is broke. Ya - may be when we have a surplus. When our education system is broken, it doesn't mean that because we don't have access to books. Handing out Kindle is not going to solve our education problems. How about printing cheaper books to start? Books in many countries are lighter and cheaper. Yes, the paper is much thinner, but who cares! You can still read the text. Or how about taking that money setting aside for Kindle and invest it in better meals for the kids or other programs to enhance their learning. Seriously.

Man, Amazon must be lobbying hard to boost the sales of its Kindle.
