Textbooks need fast navigation and color. Textbooks also aren’t read like novels. All this is true of current textbooks, even without any animations, videos or interactive elements.

E-ink is a bad fit for them. All it has going for it is the lower price of available devices (which is a major plus) and that some people claim they get eyestrain from reading on LCDs (hardly an issue with textbooks).
