Will the new Kindle DX complicate plagiarism prevention?

I am big ebook reader fan and am very pleased with my Amazon Kindle 2 (see my review) that I upgraded to after selling my original Kindle. ZDNet bloggers have made several posts on the new Kindle DX and one aspect of the new Kindle that I haven't seen touched upon yet is the new easy accessibility to textbook content that makes copying and pasting original content a simple process. This concerns me a bit in regards to plagiarism of this content.

In today's educational institutions people can copy textbook and book content by typing away on their keyboards with a book sitting next to their computer or they can copy and paste content from sources on the Internet. The Kindle makes this process even easier with the way that highlights and annotations are made on the device. When you annotate or highlight parts of Kindle content the original content is saved and uploaded wirelessly as a text file that can easily be opened and used or shared with others.

Plagiarism is getting to be a much more complicated issue than back when I was in college due to the amount and types of information present to students. I was reading through the Plagiarism.org site that attempts to educate people on how to avoid plagiarizing content in today's digital age and how to properly cite all your sources.

I served on the Honor Board back when I was at the US Coast Guard Academy and there can be serious consequences to acts of plagiarism so I hope that schools are taking steps to adequately train students on how to properly cite all of these digital sources. I think the Kindle can be a valuable tool for students and would have loved to have saved money and space with a Kindle DX. I regularly spent over $400 per semester on my engineering texts and think the Kindle DX would pay for itself in just a couple of years if the content wasn't priced too high.
