But I agree with Jon that a tablet is much more suited for reading textbooks on than an eInk device.
I've heard the same thing. Since textbooks have graphs, photos, etc. included in them they tend to read better on tablets than on an eink reader. Especially as they are likely to be large files I'd think.
