More Choices Alter College Textbook Landscape

Washington Post: "The prospect of digital books and slow-but-steady growth in free online 'open' content loom as developments that could upend the textbook landscape and alleviate the perennial problem of rising prices.

'If you're in junior high school, you can be sure it'll be better. If you're in high school, there's a shot. If you're starting college as a freshman, you might see it as a senior. It's on more and more people's agenda.'"
