Text Books



On another textbook slant, I wonder when we will stop wasting so much
paper and other resources in books. I would suppose that most text
books are written using a computer these days. Why not just leave it in
computer form on a CD where it can be indexed and searchable? All that
is needed is a dedicated CD player (or computer) in order to read the
book and consider how much weight it would take off our students' backs.
Our science books are particularly heavy so we should be leading the way
in this direction.

At the very least, this should be offered as an option to those
purchasing books.
