I guess it depends on what you mean by academic texts. In every ad I see in the New York Review of Books by academic publishers like Oxford University Press, Indiana University Press, North Carolina University Press, etc., many, if not most, of the books advertised are also available as ebooks.
I think nonfiction ebooks have a difficult road to travel. I buy a lot of nonfiction but will not buy it in ebook form unless I buy both the pbook and the ebook, which I occasionally do. I consider nonfiction books to be not only readable now but future research resources and so I want ownership and quality, neither of which are fully available in ebooks yet. The day is getting closer, but it is not yet here.
