Macmillan launches 'DynamicBooks,' customizable digital textbooks

to think that a digital book should be anywhere near the cost of a dead tree version. that is what is wrong. once something can be replicated near infinitely for nearly no cost, the value drops incredibly. unless, you want to apply some unnatural form of property law that totally skews the basics of supply & demand economics. also, i'm sure they kill the first sale doctrine on these, too.

The only question I have is... What litigation exists to prevent a professor from changing the textbook and requiring his/her students to purchase the 'revised' version? How will they deal with the profits going to the proper place. In no way should the professors see a penny, being that it isn't their IP; it is someone else's IP with their spin on it...
