Re: Japan is small, that's why..... said by EPS:And there are a lot of reasons to keep textbooks in their current form- the paper form is more readable, can be highlighted, and can be resold (the costs of textbooks being what they are, this is significant- eBooks could be slightly cheaper but almost certainly won't be, since there's no competition whatsoever) No, textbooks should be free.

Hingham, MA | Making textbooks isn't free, though... who will pay for the production and effort that goes into making a textbook? (I am aware that many publishers game the system by releasing new editions that just rearrange the homework problems so you can't use used books, but the initial book still had costs) |
