Kindle not worth Granite’s money

By By Liz Carlston October 29, 2008

It is disconcerting that the district invested in a technology that is unproven in the marketplace, not to mention that the product can only be utilized by 0.002 percent of its student body, as the district's Web site reports servicing 68,075 students.
