Another video showing the future of student's ebooks.
The one thing that caught my ear in that video is when the narrator mentioned the student would still have the notes they make "even after the book has expired." So I guess one new thing to look forward to will be books with expiration dates. Maybe they'll come up with monthly-recurring library memberships that you can't cancel unless you want all your books to disappear off your tablet or other device's drive. And then books will get pirated too, maybe leading to kids actually wanting to read and sharing 'read lists' of cracked books they can share with their friends.

Wow...maybe there will even be 'illegal' book tube sites one day!
