McGraw Hill in iBookstore?

[iPhoner99]

Hi guys,

Is there a chance of seeing McGraw Hill's textbooks in the iBookstore?

No one knows.

I hope so, I'm tired of getting raped in the butt when I buy text books for school.

I'll buy them if they are a decent price. But if they are the same as physical books I'll go with those. But it would be nice to carry a notebook and books and laptop all in one device in a small bag instead of what I do now.

You really think that they'd be that much cheaper?

I believe that you can bank on some things in college and one of those certainties are that you will pay a pretty penny for schoolbooks. It happens to everyone going to school. Suck it up!

They’re coming. It’s just not going to be in the iBookstore. They’re going to make their own application.

When I was in college, we paid with cash. Times really have changed.

There is already McGraw-Hill content in the app store for the iPhone and this article shows a partnership in regards to medical textbooks:

I would buy the digital books over the print ones any time.
Since I can not read normal print books easily with out scanning them or using a giant magnifier it might be nice if they where scanned and ready to go in a app store if they make one.
