Pay-per-chapter textbooks for college students
Open·Idea·Education·by liang 24d ago
The problem
Students buy full textbooks for courses that use three or four chapters of them.
Who it's for
College students, and professors who assign readings from many books.
What people do today
Photocopies and shared PDFs.
How it would work
Publishers sell single chapters at a fair price. Professors build a reading list and students pay only for what's on it.
This idea is public. Anyone can build it. The record on this page shows who posted it first.
