From the WashingtonPost is an article on Ads Coming to Texbooks. Here is a paragraph: "Now, a small Minnesota startup is trying to shake up the status quo in the $6 billion college textbook industry. Freeload Press will offer more than 100 titles this fall _ mostly for business courses _ completely free. Students, or anyone else who fills out a five-minute survey, can download a PDF file of the book, which they can store on their hard drive and print." It will be interesting to see if this catches on.
