IMO - the open textbooks should be based on a web/tablet/e-reader based environment to remove printing all together.
If they were in fact apps - teachers could even have the auto-homework pieces built in. The government should invest in this kind of solution. If you consider: 19.9 million college students - there are numerous classes every single one has to take cycle... we'd do well to build a US government app platform for all students in those classes.
- Retric 8y agoOpen textbooks can be read on Tablets just fine, but e-ink is black and white which causes some issues.

Also the better solution is to have the content in HTML/CSS etc. type format because you can add interactivity to the book. Modern web technologies are pretty much the ultimate tool in creating interactivity.
