E-Readers Can Give Textbook Publishers A Run For Their Money, article.
I spent several days figuring out how the Kindles worked and how I could best use them in class. I got my feet wet by using them right away as a time-filler. Instead of letting students spend the last five minutes of class playing solitaire on their computers, they would read an ebook. After the first two week period, when I found myself having to gently pry their fingers off the Kindles because they wanted to keep reading, I knew I had to do a better job of incorporating them into my lesson plans.
And the money they save on paper textbooks is tremendous too.

Ah, but don't the same publishers own the rights, and just sell digital versions? The problem is they tried to sell $150 textbooks and that won't work for digital.
That's a long lesson for most of them to learn.
