ebook reader might be cost effective because you can study at night after the library closes, without having to cart dead trees back and forth, and with access to content that would otherwise require a trip to the state library.
They also run for a *very* long time, and are cheaper, smaller and lighter than in ipad. As a uni student I find my ereader really useful.
FTR I was lumping ipads in with "real" ebook readers, meaning at anything powered, as distinct from dead trees. Incidentally, regarding the kindle -- WTF does it have a screensaver for? Each page set costs power, so the screensaver is just draining juice. At most (presumably, for people embarrassed to be caught reading Austen) it ought to just blank the screen.
