I think this is a great idea. I remember having serious back aches from carrying all my text books around in high school. Some of the comments on the article are indeed very ignorant.
However, one caveat-I remember learning that the physical act of highlighting while you're reading actually helps you learn. I wonder if the effect would be the same pressing the buttons? I would love to eventually see something bigger for textbooks, maybe the size of the kindle dx, with a touch sensitive screen that would allow students to "highlight" with some kind of special high lighter, as well as physically take notes on their page with a stylus.
