It was bound to happen sooner or later. On top of that, it's much more expensive for a student to lose his backpack with all his book than for a student to say, lose a Kindle. You can have the Kindle as a loaner to poorer student or hell, to all student for the life they're in school, still would save more money.

On top of that, I'm sure California has the power to say, we'll pay XX amount for updates to the electronic books. This will also eliminate the problem of teaching student outdated material. The pro's more than outweigh any con. The only loser here is the people who loves printing books and been making a killing doing revision every year to sell more books. Educational books are a scam, especially in higher learning.
