@jhsilva-cc: I would choose a Tablet (iPad/Android etc..) or an Ultra-light notebook (laptop) or even a larger screen Netbook over a Kobo for your scenario. The web browser (on the Kobo) is 'ok', but it is limited. A lot of those textbook eResources (at least ones I've used in past) also can contain flash examples etc. which the Kobo browser does not support.
The other thing is that computers (notebook/laptop) and Tablets tend to handle .PDFs better than the current eInk eReaders. They are just faster and more flexible. I know for texts I used in the past they would often contain extra content as .PDFs.
One potential option if you are a tinker or on a budget could be the Color Nook which can be hacked/flashed with standard Android to be a general purpose Tablet. I can't speak to this directly as I don't have said device, nor have see said hack performed directly, but it seems to have gained some repute for being an interesting tablet option.
