bcrowell writes "The LA Times has a front-page article about how open-source college textbooks starting to gain traction. One author says, "I couldn't continue assigning idiotic books that are starting to break $200," and describes attempts by commercial publishers to bribe faculty to use their books. The Cal State system has started a Digital Marketplace to help faculty find out about their options for free and non-free digital textbooks, and the student group PIRG has collected 1200 faculty signatures on a statement of support for open textbooks."
