I often usually post the chapters we use for my classes in case students haven't bought the book yet. I also have a hard $60 limit for books that I use.

I really think Khan Academy should publish a textbook that everyone can use. Cheap or free, doesn't change every year, allowed to print out yourself.

I don't think the problem is the availability, it's probably the adoption. But I'm not in higher ed.

I see some profs trying to choose good books, but they don't seem to be able. But I'm also not in higher ed.
