I think the ebook readers will really only become common when the makers team up with publishers, school, and universities to produce them for students. I work as the textbook manager at a college bookstore, and I know that students absolutely hate carrying around 20-30 pounds of books. The nursing students have 9 REQUIRED books for just one class. That's not including whatever other classes they might be taking.
This would be especially true for young kids in elementary schools who seem to be carrying increasingly heavy bookbags. It would make their lives a lot easier if they could carry an ebook reader with all of their texts on it and save bookbag space for notebooks, lunches, etc.
