I think what scared me too was the almost underlying assumption that greater access to text books alone would improve education. The role of the teacher, the context, course design, and of course digital literacy skills seemed very secondary.

I share your concerns about the tyranny of the textbook which does seem to be a US thing. The idea of learning openly is important and we need to avoid the sorts of situations where professors are promoting their books when the subject can be covered well through OERs and good student centered research using advanced digital literacy skills.
