I suspect it might be more likely that textbooks would come out in PDF, if they were going to come out in any existing format. (This would allow color, has a measure of security built-in, and allows students to use laptops to read texts... students already have laptops.) As I don't think the existing readers are well suited for textbooks without color, a new reader would likely be designed, and a format that handles color (possibly a new one) would be used for it.

Unless .tpz does color, it will probably not be used for texts.
