[QUOTE="Calijoefornia, post: 1008168, member: 111178"] Hey all, so this one's mostly for the college students out there, but really it's open for anyones input. I just got out of school earlier today and I cruised through the Financial Aid department (never a good time). I asked the lady at the desk if the school would be supporting e-textbooks now that the iPad is coming out, and she told me the President issued a statement last week saying all the schools text books will be covered through the iPad by September 2010 (just in time for the fall semester). I know this is pretty much shinfo for all of you but if you're a student and you're considering the iPad like myself, it can't hurt to check with your school to see if textbooks will be supported too! It definitely helps justify the price tag they've tossed on what some are calling a "glorified iPod Touch." Let me know what you find out from your schools! I'd love to know how widespread textbooks on the iPad will be by the beginning of the 2010/11 year. Have yourselves a great day. [/QUOTE]
