The printed book itself exists and will exist in the future as well obviously. And epub is not limited to iPads, I see it more like an opportunity to sell digitized textbooks to students (parents) who have the means to use any device they like.
It's diversifying means not replacing oldschool books. That's why I'm dealing with indesign - the printed book has already been designed and laid out, now I'm just customising it to another readable format. I doubt the publisher (client) would've made the decision to digitize the textbook if the demand wasn't there.
