We are the world’s largest publisher of
free and open college textbooks. With our
ever-expanding catalog of top quality books
by expert authors, now is your chance to be
a hero and help your students save thousands
of dollars. Get started today and join the
textbook affordability movement.

The choices are limited at this time, but the idea here is grand. This is not necessarily free publication, it’s freemium. A somewhat restricted online version is free, while all other versions cost. I think this model has wings.

Even with ubiquitous internet, people want a copy that can be edited, annotated, and so forth.
