Kno, the digital textbook system, has caught the imagination of some writers, including Jane Hart. "Yes, it's a digital textbook. Yes, it's a whole new ecosystem. Two spacious panels. Touch-screen interaction. A fully-stocked store. Video. Note-taking. Sharing and community. Kno is everything a textbook was. And will be." Some of the commenters are less enthused. Mike Cosgrave writes, "In a word, No. Love the hardware, root it and sell it as an Android device and I'll be seriously interested. Can it complete with the Galaxy Tab as my current object of desire - not so sure." Me, I'm not sure exactly why they're touting the benefit of a "fully locked store." As though this is something I'd want?
