No, you will most certainly have to carry your textbooks with you, as they will not be transferable to the reader. I have no idea what Stringer means anyhow: how many did Sony make, how many did it sell? It's still available in the local Borders in Connecticut where I go, and my wife, my daughter and other people who have looked at it with me hate it. You are all forgetting that reading on paper is a perfectly good experience, and does not NEED replacing. So, as Yvan has suggested, the reader makes a good addition to paper, but it is unlikely (at least for now) to replace it. And there is the matter of cost and DRM: until the latter goes, I don't see how this, or any other electronic reader, can succeed. The cost is much too high: $350 for a device that could be outdated in a year or less, plus the cost of the books which you will have to read on that device and no other! I don't see much promise there.
