		<description><![CDATA[It makes perfect sense. Textbook exchanges between groups of students have been around as long as colleges have been around. All students need to do is to create a direct &#8220;marketplace&#8221; to buy and sell their textbooks directly between each other and cut out the middle-man, the middle man being the campus book stores in… <a href="http://www.freeonlinetextbooks.net/blog/students-are-using-facebook-to-buy-and-sell-textbooks">Read More &#187;</a>]]></description>

The traditional textbook publishing model is adapting in an attempt to become more compatible with the current digital learning technologies available. This is truly a major &#8220;revolution&#8221; of sorts, and thus we can expect these adaptations to gradually… <a href="http://www.freeonlinetextbooks.net/blog/a-creative-textbook-buyback-idea-that-needs-more-attention">Read More &#187;</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[With more and more textbook companies popping up to serve the &#8220;online&#8221; marketplace, the competition is getting to be pretty darn fierce. One of the major benefits of this intense competition is the fact that it tends to force consumer prices down. This is great news for cash-strapped students.

		<description><![CDATA[A very common question that potential buyers of tablet/e-reader devices have is, &#8220;What&#8217;s the best tablet to use for my textbooks?&#8221; It&#8217;s a daunting question too. Ebook reading devices like the iPad and Kindle are expensive, contain different technologies, and have their own limitations on certain etextbook formats. Consequently, students and parents are apprehensive to… <a href="http://www.freeonlinetextbooks.net/blog/are-some-tablets-better-than-others-for-etextbooks">Read More &#187;</a>]]></description>
