Apple posts iBooks 2, Textbooks-centric education video

Fresh from the Apple Education event, Apple has posted the video they showed off highlighting iBooks 2 and their new Textbooks initiative. It starts off with teachers and educators railing against everything wrong about traditional textbooks -- they're expensive, heavy, immediately outdated. Then they go into full iPad sell mode. Fast and fluid navigation, beautiful graphics, and better, easier note taking.
