Kindle for Law Schools
E-book readers have been a revolution waiting to happen for years. There have been e-book devices before, from Sony, iRex, and others, but the Amazon Kindle (and its kid brother, Kindle for iPhone) may be the first application of this technology to gain a sizable market. This session will demonstrate how the new Kindle 2 and Kindle for iPhone can be used effectively in law schools, and will suggest technical enhancements and changes in publishers' practices necessary to make the next generation of e-book readers an essential tool for lawyers, law students, and faculty.

Do law students want casebooks and other course texts on Kindle?
Are they too long, too much to read on the device?
Kindle version of 531 United States Report
You can find the Kindle version of 531 US here. I created it as a proof of concept with the idea of converting freely available court opinions to versions usable on various eReader/eBook platforms.
