So one book, for 1,000 students, would be 1/5 the cost of the iPads. That's one book. Try four or five books, and you're close to the cost of an iPad.

- jonhendry 15y agoOn the other hand, schools are probably interested in being able to get updated content every year, rather than using the same book for 10 years. In some subjects, that might not be important. In others, like science or math, it might be useful to have up-to-date information presented with the latest pedagogical techniques. Hell, being able to update textbooks to references the latest internet memes would probably do wonders at raising entertainment value.
