Princeton University - Pilot of Amazon's Kindle e-reader launched with fall semester:
"At Princeton, the Amazon KindleDX pilot project is sponsored by OIT, the University library and the High Meadows Foundation. The High Meadows Foundation gift of term funds over four years was given to the University to fund initiatives that support goals set forth in the 'Research, education and civic engagement' section of Princeton's Sustainability Plan, which was announced in February of 2008. It is one of the plan's three main areas, along with greenhouse gas emissions reduction and resource conservation.
The library digitized content for the e-reader pilot, while OIT converted some content into e-books and prepared others for delivery, and a committee consisting of representatives from OIT and the library set the goals for the pilot."
