How long will it take colleges, including my own, to understand that their own bookstores (selling in paper texts) is the wave of the past. Making money off students when online resources are available, is what is putting colleges in the "respectability hole." How can you trust an educational system that literally bleeds every dollar out of you for: tuition, activity fees, lab fees, special fees, application and processing fess -- and then is complicit in the "Educational Business" game by keeping textbooks going long beyond their useful lifespan.
If colleges themselves are capable of going "paperless" -- why aren't students? It is a cheat and the students know it. And they will "vote" with their feet.
