This is a victory for the free man.
Textbook prices dropping to 15 bucks and able to keep them indefinitely, would empower the common man to become a liberated intellectual... (that is unless they are filled with dogma and disinformation)
As of now ebooks for college students must be leased off a website, cannot even be kept for later use, and become less portable than a normal textbook given the fact that a internet connection is required.
www.cengagebrain.com
is an example of a site which does this.
It just shows how technology can be used to liberate or enslave.
I'm glad we have a few freedom loving/thinking people over at Apple to push things in the right direction - humans are enslaved enough as it is and since we always inevitably will be slaves (no matter what we do) it's best to use every opportunity that there is to make life a little more tolerable and free.
I'm sure some textbook fascist out there is freaking out already about this iBooks innovation, coming up with some plan on how to circumvent it and keep everyone stupid and submissive...
