Parent Central (Canada) reports that California is moving to eBooks for K-12 education. Companies are expected to submit content, but it appears the state expects the content to be free. Not sure I understand the “business” or even “educational” model here. Does this mean the state will use “out of copyright” resources from providers who previously expected to make money. The cooperation of the publishing houses here makes little sense. The repurposing of out of date content in an age when publishing companies are charged with being too slow also makes little sense.
