Yes e-books have taken off (especially among older users) but I'm not convinced they're ready for learning. As Christoph Derndorfer writes, "I think tablet-style devices could be quite well suited for use by primary-school children however I don't think that the products currently available or foreseeable to be available within the next two or three years will be well suited for secondary-school use." This is because, as he says, "tablets are generally more suited for content consumption rather than content creation."
