my daughters first day of high school and they say she needs to have a graphing calculator. Seems silly to buy one. I was hoping that there would be an app she could use on her kindle.

What I’d like to see is a graphing calculator app to use on Kindles!

Just found your blog and I love it! This post caught my eye because, as I’m sure you intended, I had just never thought about this. I’ve been a Kindle fan since gen-1 (in fact, I’ve only ever owned a Kindle 1), but close family had adopted more recent models since seeing mine.

My only concern about this becoming a required item for students is that unlike a graphic calculator, a Kindle requires you to spend more money as time goes on. The graphing calculator can handle any equation you throw at it, but unless English teachers work solely in the public domain, their students are going to have to buy e-editions of all their books. Schools already have stockpiles of paperback copies of books, but DRM restrictions prevent them from having school copies of e-texts that they can lend out to students, and then later recall.

First the $189 price drop and now the 139 drop… my money is now on the kindle reaching mass market very soon. Finally the kindle is afforable enough for book lovers instead of just book + tech lovers.

I will be buying kindles all round this christmas!
