Dave Wiley and Cable Green -- how can you lose? My favourite message in the artile is that education is fundamentally about sharing. I couldn't agree more, and I hope the e-book/e-pub interest translates into a bunch of free and available material for people. I think educators everywhere can lead this movement. The cost of an e-reader isn't much if you can put hundresd of books on one for free.
