What kind of distraction are you getting on your Kindle...?

Also, the university isn't covering the cost here. The students are. And buying the Kindle would be cheaper than the printing cost of the packet itself.

So I stand by my point. If you don't want distraction, get Kindles.

And even iPads are pretty good. They tend to sit flat so you're not "hiding" your screen the way you can with a laptop or phone, and people often aren't using messaging or social apps on them so there are no incoming distractions.
