Right choice is to use e-ink tablets, not to switch back to text books.

Really sad the e-ink hasn't seen more widespread use. It's like no one wants a middle ground between tech-hype and tech-doom.
Choice is an excellent option.

Printed books and or electronic versions, seems like the best way to go for education.

Nah, try again. Producing that device, in Asia, is worse for the environment than whatever a tree here and there could.
Are e-ink displays especially bad for the environment, or are you talking about electronics in general?
That depends on the number of books obviously
The books might be printed in Asia as well.
