If you had everyone on ebooks on the same kind of device, that MIGHT help as far as the in-class experience. At least epubs have page numbers.
For use in class, a paper book that you can quicky flip around and look for stuff is a lot more useful.
If we finally got an e-ink device with a pen that you could take notes in the book and you could take notes on...it might be a more viable choice.

These concerns are all easily overcome. Remember this is relatively new techonology and there are devices out there that use eink tech that push the limits and will certainly suprise you . For instance a felxible screen that is currently in develop ment for the paper cell phone.
I think in the scheme of things if we want this to happen it will and right now tech is leaping by light years.
