This sort of ties in, because I just found out that the university where I work is offering electronic downloads for textbooks for the coming fall. Sorry, but I don't know if it is for all courses, but a few minutes of exploring proved that I couldn't find a course that isn't using it. All pdf, but the kids will read them on laptops anyway, so format doesn't really matter. There's a big price break also, with (example) $70 books for $15 electronic, etc.

I was waiting at the car dealership yesterday, and this gentleman kept sending lustful glances in my direction. However, he had a book, and I think he was lusting for my EB-1150!
