Another issue with e-(text)books is DRM. Users are often seriously limited in their ability to consume content in a way that fits their study styles the best. For example, a student might be quite comfortable with Evernote for taking notes, but the e-book's DRM might not allow copying passages, tables and/or images (or even linking to them). Even when there's no explicit DRM, PDF files are notoriously bad at integration with other software.
Usual solution: the printer becomes a DRM-circumvention device.
