Re: Princeton University Goes Digital - The Wrong Way
Considering that:
1) College Textbooks aren't worth the paper they are printed on because the information contained in them is often erroneous.2) The choice of textbooks at any given college or university has nothing to do with the quality of the book, instead it has to do with the marketing of the book.
3) That there's very little difference between revision 5 and revision 9 of a book. But that doesn't stop them from publishing a new revision pretty much every year.4) The price gouging is horrendous.
I'm assuming that MBS is going to learn a horrible lesson in all this. Students might actually be willing to pay an extra 33% to get a non- crippled paper version of the book. There goes their profit scenario.
