I think that's the future, Angela. No more lugging around 20lbs. of textbooks. Think of all the paper that will be saved.

I used to work in a college bookstore, and one reason digital books aren't as popular as they could be is because of publishers. Even though some of them sell digital versions of books, they really don't want the technology to take off. They're afraid it will kill them. If people start distributing their own eBooks -- who needs a publisher?!
