The main issues cited by the students et al in the article are technological limitations, unrelated to format, that may be fixable in the future. The readers are slow, are harder to annotate than paper books, and can't be cited using standard page numbers. Not seeing how format has anything to do with these problems.

I also beleive its one of adaptation - I either buy all my school books electronically or make them electronic, whether they want to or not and then I extract salient points into a word document and then load that as a study guide on my ebook reader (circle of life) - it can be done but i think the fallacy is trying to replicate the workflow of a paper book. I beleive you need to stop and reinvent the way one uses books entirely
