RE: academic texts It's a bit of a weird situation because many universities make a large profit as publishers, selling those insanely expensive academic texts. So in the university space you would expect resistance against moving to electronic devices.

It might mean millions less for universities printing traditional texts, so I thought they might be holding out for as long as possible.

Ebooks are a far better way to learn imo, annotations are fast and easy, searching is far more powerful, marking passages is far easier to manage. In fact now when I read traditional books or watch TV, I am always wishing for a control + f option.
