I'm going to be a college freshman in a few days and im wondering if its a good idea to get my textbooks in the form of eBooks.

My main concern is that something like a nook or a kindle would have too small a screen for a textbook and I'm wondering if someone could shed some light on this matter.

I'm also wondering if I, say, buy a kindle, will the only books i can read on it have to be purchased from the amazon kindle store? Or will i be able to purchase books from a third party?

If i decide to go the way of the eReader I'm thinking the Onyx Boox M90 would be the best choice given the size of its screen.
