Textbooks in the Apple AP Store?

Random House now has an ebook reader that will work with iPhones and iPod Touch, which means it will be offering digital versions of its books in the Apple App Store. Print size of the text as well as font types can be changed by readers who purchase the books, and notes can be taken in the books. Users may add on features such as videos, quizzes, and interviews with authors. Although Random House has started with best sellers, can textbooks be far behind? Will we be able to pick and choose texts in the Apple App Store? Read Fred Bartels comments, "The End of the Textbook? ... as we know it" and see what he suggests might be possible for texts of the future with Apple's new iPhone software. Will we be able to pick and choose to purchase only the chapters we want and perhaps, put together our own textbooks? Yes, we will—one of these days.
