Here’s an interesting Microsoft Education project I ran across. Created for Microsoft by Daniele Monti, UX/UI designer at Zerofiftyfive Interactive, the Microsoft Electronic Textbook appears to be quite an ambitious concept. Possible Courier application? Maybe not, but in a world where the Courier is cost-effective enough, I could certainly see this application running on one in an educational capacity. Imagine, every student with their very own Courier and an application like this to store all of their reading materials, assignments, homework, in-class recordings, and more. In theory, this could be like OneNote on steroids for the classroom. Pretty cool idea! Anyway, on to the screen shots (click the smaller ones for larger versions of them):

Please feel free to chime in on what you think of this concept. Speculation is always fun. =)
