I would have killed for a kindle with all my textbooks on it. I don't see any downside from a student's perspective.

I can't see how teachers would be able to allow their use in an open-book exam, though. There are too many ways you could cheat.

You could also buy a nook, root it and install android, then run the kindle app. I've played with one of these and it worked pretty well, albeit a bit slower than an iPad (due to the lower spec hardware that was to be expected, so I can't really fault the Nook for that.)
