The issue is classes with mixed e-books and paper books. The examples spoke to how people with paper books could share their place with e-book users, but neglected the fact that people with e-books couldn't do the same.

Do you really think that professors are paid by the student? Or that students would skip taking required classes because of the textbook? And that the professor or university would care? Or that the professor would be penalized financially for this? Because none of those things are remotely true in the real world, or even in academia. I had classes where the textbooks were all on reserve in the library, meaning that they couldn't be checked out at all.
