I see you listened in on the announcement.In order to use the free software for reading e-texts, would students have to buy the iPad. That is, is using their ebook platform tied to the iPad hardware? If so, where will all the students get iPads? Or can other non-apple devices be used? - steven bell

Sorry - missed this. I actually was hanging around while others who were there liveblogged, then made my comments on their reports. Though short on details, it was pretty clear this is a way of creating content for iPads which should be owned by every student apparently. - barbara fister

excellent way to sell iPads though. - barbara fister
