The Death of Textbooks, the Dawn of Learning (inkling.com)

It's great that we're using iPads and technology to make textbooks interactive (and cheaper!), but shiny toys cannot fix a deeply broken system. The "boring" part of learning is always going to be there. You are always going to lose passion after a few weeks. But this is when you show your real passion, passion that is based on something deeper than the pre-semester high we all get.
