A lot of schools are equipping the students with kindles or ipads, where their books will be. I can't imagine students in college or graduate schools will be lugging books around. Also, even though I didn't use ebooks when I was in school or first starting in work, now all the legal books are available as ebooks, and all legal research is online. I cannot imagine ever going back to paper books (and I am surprised your mother likes paper books--when I was sick recently, and my vision was bad, I just adjusted the font up several sizes, and I kept reading). As the population ages, large print books will be out of fashion, and we will just all adjust the font.
