Schools Expect to Swap Textbooks for Digital Ones

In Singapore, more classrooms will be digital in the future. More students can soon replace bound texts with Tablet PCs.

The Backpack.net centre, located on the grounds of the National Institute of Education, aims to bring digital learning to schools also in Korea, Malaysia and Indonesia.

I wonder what the relative cost will be for a Tablet PC for each student vs. multiple printed hardcopy textbooks? Someone must have run these estimates, or investments if you please. I'll see what I can find.
