Darden Students Test the Amazon Kindle DX

Darden Students Test the Amazon Kindle DX: "In addition to saving students from lugging around heavy backpacks, the technology could substantially reduce the use of paper. 'The Kindle could help Darden achieve its goal of becoming 'carbon neutral' by 2020,' Robert Carraway, Darden's associate dean for MBA programs, said.

Darden aims to become a top 10 school for teaching and research on sustainability by 2013 and has launched several other new 'electronic' initiatives this school year. For the first time, all first-year students will have the option to receive electronically the more than 300 case studies they will review. For several second-year courses, paper is not an option."
