I want to blog a bit about buying text books. I had to buy a text for a class I am taking and gratefully I found it used on amazon. It cost me $1. yep, one dollar. and surprise, when it arrived, it had never been used.

When are we going to stop asking students to buy textbooks?

I would much rather have a digital version of the book, one that I probably would refer to and actually use because it would be with me whenever I had a chance to do some homework.

My guess is that the younger students in my class won't even bother buying the text.
