Re: E-readers in the classroom
Many of my professors didn't offer an e-book format for the main textbooks (it's like they want you to buy the hardcover which comes with the online code) since some expected people to bring the physical textbook with them to class because the professor hated laptops or digital devices in general since they're distracting to the lecture.
But I had online classes that were courses with online textbooks. I don't remember them being exactly affordable either, but at the very least I won't have issues getting the text if it's an e-book.

That's for sure. In addition, illustrations, graphs, diagrams are correctly located in paper books. Looking at e-books, there may be a problem with the display of graphics. This makes it difficult to use such a tutorial. It seems to me that e-readers are still more adapted for reading literature, in which illustrations are not required.

I agree with the fact that textbooks are pricey.
Not all of my teachers and professors would allow me to bring ones into the classroom, which is a pity.

It's a great idea if the tutorials are all adapted to fit e-books. It will be really cheaper, and students will not have to lug around huge stacks of books.

But I always do have one physical book per subject. I think e-books won't be able to replace physical books so soon.
