For those of us that received a BA rather than a BS degree in college, there were many trade paperbacks of the classics that we had to read. Over one-half of the basic course requirements I had are currently available free from the MobileRead download area. Several of the 500 and 600 level classes I took are also completely represented in the download section. Most of the supplementary texts for the history courses were in the public domain then. (The goal was for reading of contemporary texts to the period you were studying.) All of these books were text only, often with no illustration even on the cover.
I never wrote in my books, I still don’t write in books.
For the liberal art courses an electronic book like reader would be a boon. Replacing first year lit course books alone should more than pay for the unit.
