Personally I like the idea of digital books for study. That's currently my preference. The advantages are nice: using the hardware (whether computer/tablet/ereader) to do a search so you can find a specific term in the text, font size changes on the fly, the ability to zoom in and enlarge pictures, reduced weight versus printed materials, electronic bookmarking of pages for reference, on the fly dictionary look-ups, cut/copy & paste of text.....
It may not be do-able right now on a large scale for various reasons, but the OP was quite correct in the many advantages of switching over.
