I won't requote all of Physics' response - there are some very good points here. Maths and science textbooks don't always work well on digital devices. Also some languages are a problem unless the book is in PDF format, mainly because of lack of support for non-Latin alphabets. I know there is probably an easy way of doing Arabic or Russian in HTML, but not without doing some serious changes on my keyboard!
OK book publishers & ereader manufacturers - if you read these forums, get moving on sorting out these problems. There could be a lot of money in being the first to make digital textbooks a better option.
