The cost of textbooks at the high school level is outrageous for public school systems, and one text for a graduate class costs more than tuition for an entire semester did when I first started college. And then, there's the problem of the mass of textbooks. I've had numerous high school students with back pain - one requiring surgery - that was aggravated (some think caused) by the extreme weight of their books. Any progress with text publishers on making books available for Kindle? As a teacher, graduate student, and mother of a college student, I’d love to see textbooks available for the Kindle.

I took out the charger and the adapter port on my device wouldnt hold my adapter point . As you all know when anything goes wrong on this device it's a lost if you don't have insurance. I do not have insurance. I called Kindle customer support and told them my issue and they are replacing the unit and charger- free. It MUST be that this is an ongoing problem with the connection port. Watch out for the charge port- there must be some issue with it. Amazing that they'll replace it for free. I am amazed and filled with relief. This Kindle is my toy and and I don't like my toys broken. Three cheers to Kindle for their awesome customer service. Does anyone have any idea of what the problem might be?? Thanks Just went to charge my Kindle 2- I previously owned Kindle 1.
