I get the impression that rolexconfuse is a university student. The device you require actually exist, it is a Russian e-Reader (I think it is called JetReader or JetBook). To make a device like that successful the maker need to sell it to the public sector, every student (K-12) will have the same reader loaded with the same text books. Increases in manufacturing costs are cancelled by decreasing marketing costs. A device like this is only feasible in a centralised education system, the manufacturer can market it to a Dept. of Education that will buy 2 million devices and distribute them through the school system. In a decentralized system marketing costs and distributions costs will be prohibitive. Those reading material in science will have different demands than those reading in social science or humanities. In a centralized system the central authorities can shove one e-Reader down everybody's throat.
