Yeah, I think so. I can easily spend that much on a single term's textbooks, and I imagine there are students who end up spending more than that. Sure, it's a big initial investment, but I think it's worth the future savings, not having to carry heavy books around, and getting a really cool gadget out of the bargain isn't bad either It also sounds like it has some textbook-friendly features too, with highlighting and annotation. I often have to buy used textbooks, and I hate it when I end up with a book with lots of highlighting. Having a Kindle would allow me to start with a fresh copy and export what I want to. That is very appealing.
