#2Jobs was out-innovating everyone when he was heathy.
Jobs was out-innovating everyone when he was sick.
Jobs is still out-innovating everyone even when he's already dead.

Yet getting excited for textbooks on ipad? Strange.

No, they already have that. The new thing is a complete physical TV, with likely every component and service from end-to-end reimagined and controlled by Apple.

#6>Revolutionizing textbooks may seem a bit ho-hum by Jobs’ standards, but it’s pretty clear that Jobs was passionate about the U.S. education system, and felt this country was falling behind.
Oh please, Steve Job showed very little -- if not zero -- passion about the US education system. He was an inventor and entrepreneur.
If these guys want to talk about someone who is passionate about the US education system, talk about Bill Gates. It's time to end the Steve Job's love fest.

#7I'm probably being short-sighted, but I fail to see what else could you add to a TV that you couldn't already by attaching some device to it.. it's like saying Jobs will revolutionize the computer monitor. It's just a display.

People don't buy textbooks because they like to read. They buy them because they are required for their classes. And they can cost thousands of dollars per year.
Typically there is one specific text approved for a course, so there is a serious lack of competition. And the publishers will release new editions every year, with trivial changes, to prevent reuse of old books. It's definitely a sketchy industry, in many ways, and there is plenty of opportunity for disruption.

Google and Sony worked together to create integrated "Internet TVs" (which hit the market a year ago) although I don't think they sold well.

They might be juxtaposing Jobs and his wife, who apparently does have a strong interest in education.
