What's the Future for Textbooks?

The possibilities for ways to eliminate the old, thick textbook are endless! I ran across this site that predicts ways the old-fashioned textbook will become a thing of the past. As more colleges and high schools focus on students using laptops, those same students won't be excited about lugging around heavy textbooks.

The question is, however, how will students be assessed about what they know when their cell phones, kindles and laptops have everything readily available to them?
