Our two cents:
Apple is certainly on to something here, but the price point for tablets, doesn’t exactly make the iBook play egalitarian.  And while few would disagree with the fact that iBook is more visually appealing than standard textbooks, the real issue is whether or not iBooks boost student performance levels, specifically in math and science. If Apple can link the iBook to these kind of metrics, then they’ve truly got something revolutionary. But it won’t be easy. After all, they aren’t just taking on an industry like they did with iTunes, they are taking on the entire educational system.
