Digital Textbooks coming to South Korea

I am the proud owner of an Apple iPad and one thing I would love would be a way to access textbooks from my university library on the device. The iPad is much lighter than a few decent sized maths textbooks and easier to read and search through. Spending $2 Billion on it though is perhaps a little too much for me to afford at the moment, emphasis on at the moment!

South Korea announced this week that it plans to spend over $2 billion developing digital textbooks, replacing paper in all of its schools by 2015
