From a luggage viewpoint I would say yes to e-textbooks. I didn't have lockers in junior high and we had to share lockers (if you got lucky, some didn't get one at all) in high school. You had 1 book for each class that you had to lug from school to home everyday. My classes all wanted a 1-2in binder per class so I had 4-5 binders, 5-6 textbooks and a trumpet on me during the school year. (class of 2005)
From a learning viewpoint, I don't think it should be one or the other. I think I would be fine with e-textbooks especially if it was available for viewing on an ereader along with the pc. I do know that some people I know would've struggled if only e-textbooks were available. If e-textbooks become mainstream I think schools should still have a decent amount of pbooks available for those who wish to use them.
