Yep, the problem with eInk readers is that they usually have rather small displays, which are perfectly fine for reading but not quite adequate for textbooks and such. I don't know about how the Kobo works, but while the Kindle does support PDFs (which I'm guessing is an ideal format for textbooks), you'll have to scroll through a single page because it won't fit entirely on the screen all at once, and this is inefficient. Some other ereaders like the Nook try to adjust the layout so that you don't have to scroll when reading a page, but the result is that it looks very odd.
Also, more obviously, eInk readers such as the Paperwhite and Kobo Glo cannot display colors, which is a huge downside considering how many of them you have in a textbook.
