IMO textbooks WILL go digital because the market will demand it. Hello, Ctrl+F. It's a market full of early adopters, especially where price reductions are involved.
Doesn't matter if what the publishing contracts say, if pirates wanted to read they'd find a way. Scanner, text recognition software, it would get done.
Never say never, or the future will laugh at you.
What do you guys think of the
ASUS EE PC T91MT? You know, if you really want something will a multi-touch touchscreen. iPad will probably outsell it based on Apple's brand power alone, but it looks like a solid competitor.
