All speculation at this point, but if they allow Stanza (an existing iPhone app) to run, you'd be able to transfer epub files to it easily via wifi using Calibre. See the Calibre forum here at Mobileread for more information.

I can't imagine trying to keep up in math class taking notes on a keyboard. I don't even want to try handwriting recognition for that. I'd rather take ink notes (which I can do on my iPod Touch using FastFinga, but a larger screen would be nice....)
