Our startup is working to fix the mainstream textbook problem. Specifically, I think the biggest ripoffs are the textbooks for first-year students; they're totally full of bullshit, so our mission is to replace them with more concise, and more affordable books. So far we have two titles: one on precalc+mech+calc (3 in 1 for the win), and a second on linear algebra (see my profile for links). We're currently looking for authors to write the No bullshit guide to biology, and No bullshit guide to chemistry. If you have teaching or tutoring experience with these subjects, please get in touch. Between the excellent OER books that available, and independent publishers like us, I think we can fix the textbook cartels. I give them 2-3 more years, then they're history.
