Looks great to me. Instead of selling a textbook for $75 that a school will use for 5 years, they sell a $15 ebook to each kid every year.
I went through 7 weeks of training and used my iPad with PDF versions of the course material instead of the foot high stack of manuals. I far preferred it....and the new textbooks have a lot more going for them than just PDF's.
I'm sure the publishers will still have paper books and patents will opt for them if they don't want to pay for an iPad. I'd far rather equip my 3 kids with iPads.
