It's also my understanding that the books will be tied to individual iPads, which means that (a) students can't buy/bring their own (else the school would lose the book permanently when they graduated) and (b) if an iPad is damaged, it has to be replaced at great expense.

ETA: S/b "tied to individual accounts"
