ITunes for research sources is more the pitch, or so I read; although the article doesn't describe that very well.

That's what I suspected, but the author's incompetence with content management is quite far from the only or even the biggest obstacle in making ebook devices usable for education. Calibre or no, I would not be so cruel as to subject students to current ebook reading devices for class-related material.
