I think that this is great idea. I don’t know any time when I actually read the textbook in high school, and I was as studious as they came. I had a huge blue duffle bag with all of my textbooks and notebooks that I drug along with me everywhere (I never used the locker room). I hope that this will be the tipping point that will start the tidal wave away from paper waste and huge, needless expenditures on pricey books that no one really reads.
