When I was a freshman in high school, my locker was nowhere near any of my classes.  So I remember carrying all six of my books in a backpack (until the strap broke).  Good exercise?  Maybe.  Look cool?  No.

There's no question that today's electronic readers are lighter, but are they better for learning?  My textbook-toting days may be over, but you're right in the middle of yours, so we'd like your opinion on whether you'd actually learn better from an electronic book or a traditional textbook - or if neither type would make a difference.
