What does the prospect of unlimited books mean for education, for school media centers and libraries, for kids with little or no access to a digital reader and 10 bucks a month to buy this. What about higher education, textbooks, libraries?
I would like to see schools give universal access to these reading tools. You can share with them, you can highlight and annotate with them, you can listen to books with them and read at the same time. If reading is our biggest problem/opportunity then why not use these devices to connect?
Lots of questions, few answers.
David Byrne: No.
Forbes: close the libraries, get everyone an Unlimited membership.
Techcrunch: unlimited books minus the top 5 publishers.
Time: 10 great books not in the unlimited list,
The Chronicle: a revolution in higher ed, if….really good article with lots of thoughtful numbers
