[quote=Anonymous]Textbooks often cost $40, $50, $60, $70 and even more. They cost nowhere near that to manufacture. 90%+ of the cost is profiteering off of the content... And the content is often not even all that good. Baffles me why teachers don't get together to collect and curate open source content, they could collaboratively contribute toward open source textbook development via an online platform, and then either use the content online via tablets, or have bound books printed on demand via online services which charge a tiny fraction of what the textbook companies charge.[/quote]
