I Heard a rumour about this development some time ago, looks like it was true.

If this pans out then Amazon becomes a substantial part of a College’s Book library – no further storage or maintenance costs for the Institution with content purchasing done by the students downloaded to the device. I suspect many colleges would also enter into affiliate deals with Amazon and claim a couple of cents on each sale – reduced costs and a revenue stream to boot, who’s going to oppose that?
