I'd support this, but expand it to cover later learning texts also - university stuff & on.
A major stumbling block here might be the relatively high price for physical texts - often a result of high volume of research and preparation times for authors, and the sometimes small market.
And, of course with a proviso they'd need to be cheaper than the originals, that could be another problem area.
Having said that, a lot of humanities subjects are on line via Gutenberg et al.
And I do agree that all readers need to be either more robust before they gain a bigger acceptance - or every reader come with it's own tailor-made student-proof hard case with shock resistance !
