Why can we get Ebooks for our kids in school?

Those backpacks weigh like 40-60 pounds, dont we have the technology already to move to ebooks for kids?

Publishers want paid for their work, and frankly it is too easy to copy an ebook.
If you can convince your local school to use books that are available as ebooks, then no reason why they couldn’t use them. Project Gutenberg has a number of the classics available in many formats (text, MP3, etc.). WikiBooks actually has some textbooks available (I imagine they would come in handy for homeschoolers).
A better question than this is, why can’t we have regular books, pens, pencils and paper at the BEGINNING of the school year instead of mid-October ( at least in California), restrooms that work, broken windows replaced, and heating/a.c. that actually work, and roofs that don’t leak when it rains ( the same roofs EVERY year)? I mean, until some of the basic stuff is provided and taken care, we can’t even think about ebooks. What about teachers that know the difference between the words ‘principal’ and ‘principle’? Or can spell the word ‘constitution’? The public schools here seem to be a place for students who are all stylin’, hangin’, and learning the streets for play in the ‘hood. Hell, most of them can’t see the teacher or chalkboard because of those hoods pulled down over their eyes and their hats blocking their vision. The sooner California gets it together on home schooling programs the better. Wait a minute, I take back what I said - if this country’s adults elected W twice, home schooling would be a disaster. Okay, better send them back to the gangsta skools for babysitting.
