The gadget junky rumor mill speculates on a Kindle 3 e-reader for students that is 8 1/2 x 11 instead of the standard paperback size. The rumor mill suggests that this one may have a touch screen (and color, maybe?).
I think this would really move the e-reader into a place that would make it a great tool for textbooks. How great would it be to be able to purchase law school textbooks via Amazon's Whispernet on the device itself? And how much would we love to have the device include a legal dictionary in addition to the standard American English dictionary so students could effortlessly look up words on the spot?
The possibilities are endless . . .

I think law schools are a great place to test e-textbooks: so many captive readers that are reading for hours and hours. And, we're spending so much on textbooks anyway, many would gladly pay a few hundred more $$ for the device to save thousands on chiropractic bills in the future. :)
