I'm surprised this hasn't been discussed yet. Apple not too long ago announced their intent to enter the world of textbooks. This capability was likely at the forefront of the decision to develop the iPad.
The upside is that the textbooks can be easily updated, dynamic and mobile. The downside is that you must have an iPad obviously. That will deter many until the iPad is cheaper or schools start loaning them out.
What are your thoughts? To me, the possibilities are pretty fascinating!
The digital textbooks look slick!
