What would be nice if Apple could implement in the future a program that gives schools a discount on e-readers or iPads if they buy them in bulk. So that when students arrive on their first day of High School they can all have the choice to purchase an e-reader for only 50$ instead of the usual 100$ or more. This would be a pretty steep demand on e-reader companies to cut their prices in half, but if they did it would be really great PR for the company and would probably create some life-long buyers. Then everyone could have the chance to learn on such an easy and successful device!
