Schools that can afford to hand out $600 reading tablets can likely afford $15 per student per book. Or they can tell the students to buy their own books.
This isn't going to work for public schools elementary and high schools; those don't have enough money. Apple will be pitching their textbooks to high-cost private schools that are willing to fork over lots of money on hardware and even more on content, in order to be able to brag that "OUR students learn on IPADs, not those archaic printed pages."
AND WHY ARE YOU BEING SO NEGATIVE? DON'T YOU WANT PROGRESS? EBOOKS ARE THE FUTURE, AND THE FASTER WE PUSH RICH KIDS TO GIVE UP PRINTED BOOKS,
THE MORE MONEY PUBLISHERS CAN MAKE ah
THE LESS LIKELY THEY'LL BE TO PAY ATTENTION TO HISTORY THAT ONLY EXIST ON PAPER THE BETTER OUR NATION WILL BE!
