Edudemic has a recent blog by David Matheson giving some pros and cons of digital textbooks. Benefits include the ability to carry all of your books on you all of the time, so you can never 'leave your book at home'. They also note that computers are becoming more prevalent in everyday life so the future will reply more upon being computer literate. Reasons against digital texts include the evaluation processes that remain a paper and pencil medium. I believe the pros outweigh the cons and digital textbooks and notes will help keep students organized and on task.
