This looks like a nicely polished product, the major barrier to uptake is going to be getting someone to use it as part of the syllabus. Difficult given that it will require the school to require everyone who takes the class to have an iPad.
Not exactly. One of the books listed there, for example, is a popular text I had for an intro biology course at my university. To me, it seems more that if your professor has adopted one of the books, you can buy the iPad version instead of the dead tree copy.
As an aside, I wish I had an iPad version of that biology text when I took that class, if only because it was a monster book that weighed down my backpack.
