These opinions about resistance to e-texts are all valid, but the end-user might have more to say about it. Just as students are scanning books, others will take advantage, impacting cost. Parents, faced with the incredible cost of textbooks over time (and the weight placed on their kids' backs by them), will look favorably on an e-text system, and will pay an initial high cost to save potentially thousands over 16 years of schooling.
Sooner or later, a company (probably, as suggested by stxopher, a small company) will see this, and market just such a system. If it is successful, other parents will pressure their local governments and school systems to offer the same. Things can, and probably will change... it's only a matter of time.
