For a second, I thought you meant an e-book that would be just a list of paper titles!
But at least that idea would be a start... after all, they will at least learn how to roll out the content that way. But as we know they are concerned about losing said content to hackers, that's why I think starting out with older materials would benefit them better:
- They make (at least a little) money on otherwise-profitless libraries of material;
- They work out their e-book processing/distribution/sales system;
- They can try old material in non-DRM, and get a better idea of how to live in a non-DRM world.
