Yet another interesting catch by iClarified:

Now you can use the barcode of a text book to find a cheap version.
Now as soon as the iPad gets a camera, you'll be able to scan the
barcode, and get the book on the iPad!
Prediction: there will be a HUGE uptick in the number of scanned
textbooks available in both the Kindle DX and iPad large format.
Whew! Some of the key tech publishers are already working on digital
versions. Springer was the last one I heard about and boy would I get
several of their classics.
