Ann Althouse: Textbook publisher are making a transition to ebooks. Why? They don't make any money on used textbooks, and students won't be able to buy them any more. Schools like ebooks because they will keep the price lower. Of course that may not turn out to be true. It seems to me that ebooks costs more than they should given that they use no paper or ink, no transportation to books stores, etc.
The ebook thing is going to be a major revolution on college and university campuses. See the NYT article here.
