I think ebooks could be wonderful for schools. No longer would you have to drag around heavy bags all day, or worry that you have all the books you need if the schedule was changed - and best of all, whenever there's a new edition (which in my experience is about every other year, sometimes even every year) the old books wouldn't need to be pulped because there's no second-hand use for them. You just download the new version - think about how much paper/how many trees would be saved.
