Ebook Ramblings: biz.yahoo.com Same stuff, diff author. Personal One of the interns came into my office today all upset regarding his current class schedule. When I found out what the true problem was, I just smiled and thought what a wonderful opportunity GMST is facing. The intern explained to me that less than half of the Accounting 200 textbooks are available for students to purchase. The remainder of the books are on back order and may or may not make it in time for mid-terms. What really stinks is that some classes might be canceled, and screw up peoples next 3 years due to the fact that this accounting class is a prerequisite for most of the classes in the upper level Marketing and Business school. In the Ebook world, this just does not happen. Digital documents would be available with a simple download. Thinking of this opportunity makes me want to call Henry for a job. I hope the control of the publishing industry does not stifle what is an obvious answer to a basic problem. Its 5:55 am, so I am rambling….. Ebooks are much more environmentally friendly than traditional books. If we could just start with Universities that are so PC, we could shame them into saving the planet an Ebook at a time.
