College Bookstores Putting eTextbooks On Shelves

Posted by Kenneth Ronkowitz on


Quick pointer to an article on The Chronicle titled "College Bookstores Move to Put Electronic Textbooks on Their Shelves" that I came across in my continuing research into this trend.

I am not really sure how you put eTextbooks "on the shelves" but the short article tells us that a partnership between textbook publishers and an association of college booksellers will give more prominent placement at dozens of college bookstores to electronic textbooks. These are eTexts offered through CourseSmart, a venture owned by five major textbook companies, and the Collegiate Retail Alliance, which represents 52 independent college bookstores.

The post's comments are also interesting and now are more lengthy than the original post!
