I can see how base tuition can be dropped significantly if you're poor. I have a hard time believing that your actual costs (some that the university cannot control) can be dropped as well, so poor kids don't really stand a chance

Exactly. The publishers need Amazon, and Amazon doesn't need the publishers. They have more than enough power to be able to dictate terms. Apple realized this and was able to bully their way to a deal that worked for Apple, and the l

Good on you Tony. $45k monthly revenue is nothing to shake a stick at, and it seems you're quite happy with the lifestyle it's afforded you. An inspiration.
