    We really need to add textbooks into that. It’s absolutely a crime to charge hundreds of dollars for a book that cannot be resold.

      IMO textbooks, at least in schools should just be given away in electronic form. I live in Ireland where parents have to buy physical copies from a retailer and it’s just stupid duplication of effort and a waste of money.
