From what I know of Tempe and Scottsdale, they have relatively well-off populations. I would expect poorer parents to be hard-pressed to pay, and for some rights group to take up their case if their children were denied equal education, prompted by something as big as a transition to e-books.
If I remember correctly, Arizona is where legal threats have arisen over the trials of e-readers for students, without equivalent access for blind students.

The Arcadia High District had low rent areas even when I was going there. It has gone way downhill since then. Tempe also had it's low rent areas and has gone downhill even more (the neighborhood we lived in was once very nice but is now a crime ridden slum).
The legal threats were on the college level and the trials were canceled because of them rather than pay for coming up with alternatives or fighting it in court.
When it comes to government spending on education, AZ is near, if not at, the bottom of the list. We almost had State fund for education cut off by the (must be nice) "governor" we are stuck with because she was holding those funds ransom to force through the sales tax she was pushing.
Suing governments that are broke (we're closing State Parks, laying off treachers and cops, raising taxes, etc. because the State is so broke) is not a reliable way of making money. Even if one were to win, good luck collecting.
I'm glad you live in Utopia but not everyone has that luxury.
