It makes a lot of sense. You can highlight text and take notes in Kindle, bookmark pages and look up words in the built-in dictionary. The larger Kindle was developed specifically for the text-book market.
It will be great for the kids not to have to carry all the heavy textbooks, and to be able to have all their books with them with ease. It will be great for parents' wallets not to have to buy expensive hardcover textbooks for every class. It will be interesting to see how e-readers evolve to attract this market.
