Kindle 2

E-book readers, although a great idea, have not yet been customised for educational purposes in my opinion. Their set of features does not really allow for any interaction between the content and the student or a teacher and the student. PC's are still the tech-ed tool of choice.

Here is a video from Comedy Central (via gizmodo.com) about the Kindle 2 - an 'interview' between Jeff Bezos and Jon Stewart. The Kindle gets badly slated by the host in a funny way but in many ways the Kindle's prior success speaks for itself. On the other hand it is obviously not for everyone (yet..?).
