“If a typical textbook costs $100 and has a five-year replacement cycle, now you’re buying a new open text and telling them they can highlight it and mark in it and do whatever they want. The price has to be less than $20 a book for that to work out. So some chemistry teachers took this 1,400-page chemistry book and turned it into a 250 -age book that covers what they want it to, and they’ve read every single word. On a short print run, including shipping, the books cost $7.30.” — Learning, Freedom and the Web

“One revolution I’m sure is coming is the remaking of the print publishing industry. As I’ve said before (link), once about 20% of the reading public has electronic devices, an established author can make more money bypassing print and selling direct through e-readers. I think the new Kindle line, and especially the entry-level Kindles at $99 and below, will finally push us past the 20% threshold. It will take a couple of years to play out, but this will force the long-awaited restructuring, or destruction, of the traditional book publishing industry.” — Mobile Opportunity: Amazon vs. Apple?
