Several universities — Case Western, Reed, Princeton, University of VA, Pace, and Arizona State — are going to issue Kindle’s instead of textbooks.  Wall Street Journal article.

Backpacks would get immediately lighter, and the used text book market would immediately die if (when) this goes widespread.  I’m sure there are lots of other 21st century implications, as well. Soon — sooner than many think — books are going electronic.  This will catch us all by surprise even though we should be preparing for it right now (how to prepare? I’m not sure).
