It's good to get the trend going, and within a few generations of ebook reading devices, I'm confident that the hardware and software of reader devices will approach a state that is usable for higher academia. I'm not sure why they're going with textbooks now though, since that's a pretty big weakness of e-ink devices (along with scholarly journals and plate books), but I guess it needs to start somewhere.
Of course, there will be some people resisting the change, saying "but you can't get strong arms carrying an ebook!" Of course...when they're faster and color-capable, folks will put porn on them, which might temper the arm strength argument.
