An ebook reader for kindergarten to 12th grade could be beneficial for cutting down on the cost of books for schools. This ebook reader seems to be even more than merely an ebook reader. It logs into the school and out of the school when you are there. Could this be used for attendance purposes? Will it allow for content delivery to the student from the teacher? Will the teacher notify the student of the new content, or will the teacher express some boss's current lax behavior and ask, you didn't get the email? And what about the notes on the device, will the school's system check them for self harm, aggressive, or other disconcerting content to try to protect the kids from suicide, school shootings, drug dealing, etc? Interesting implications in an ebook reader.
