Thanks Richey. That is exactly right.
Starrigger, I was not intending to dig at for your brother's situation -- it sounds like a grueling job, and of course he deserves better.
With an increasing amount of free or low-cost courseware out there, I wonder how long the megalithic textbook publishing industry can last. . . I think e-readers, however imperfect they may currently be to the task of educational random-access reading, are just the opening salvo across the bow of that particular entrenched interest.
