I'm a little skeptical of the OSU study - it seemed to focus on the possible cost savings, and didn't really delve into the issue of whether using the e-textbooks was as good as using physical textbooks.

Similarly, the fact that the students may benefit by using educational apps (although I would like more detail on this), or the fact that students may benefit generally from having an iPad, is not the same as saying that e-textbooks on an ipad are as good as physical textbooks.
