From what I've seen, the majority of students and faculty do not like the idea of ebook texts replacing paper ones. That's the case at my university, and according to stuff I've read in trade mags like Education Technology, it's the case in general. The idea of e-texts seems to do much better with non-students, or former students thinking "Oh I wish I would have had that," than it does with people who actually would need to use them. I'm responsible for learning-technology at a big state Uni, and the e-text idea has been shot down a few times (as in we've proposed it, offered to subsidize the hardware, and they still don't want it). We're buying iPads for instructors, though, for lecturing.
