Is Kindle the future of textbooks?


The following passage was taken from the greatest business book I've ever read "The Innovator's Solution" by Clayton Christensen and Michael Raynor.




"Hundreds of millions have been spent to apply new technologies - the internet and eBook displays, specifically-to reshape the college textbook industry. innovators have attempted to develop and sell tablets that can display downloaded e-books. And with many textbooks you can click on a URL to obtain far more information about the topic than you could possibly be included within the limits of a book.

Although we would like to believe that all undergraduate students are rigorous seekers of knowledge, the job that many college students are really trying to get done, is to pass their courses without having to read the textbook at all!

These companies have spent a lot of money helping students to do more easily something they have been trying not to do!!"
