Donald Melanson at Engadget is reporting that Pace, Case Western, and Reed College have all put Kindle usage on hold. The decision came as part of a settlement with the U.S. Justice Department, which had concerns about accessibility to persons with disabilities. There may be implications for open textbooks. From the post:
Assuming Amazon lives up to its promises, however, it looks like the Kindles could be put back to use as soon as this summer — and the universities in question will still be able to finish any pilot programs currently taking place this semester, just not expand their use.
