I wonder who's going to get the clicks?
Our books cost $0 online. We provide paperbacks, audio books, and self-print versions for under $30. Our books are open for you to edit for your class. Our new editions are on your terms. We publish them - you decide if and when to use them.
I've found a real no bullshit free book publisher. www.bookboon.com You cannot even register, you can only download the textbook in PDF, and then there are a few HR ads in it to finance the thing. I don't even think you can buy anything on the website at all, its all free textbooks.
ReplyDeleteCool. I'll check them out.
ReplyDeleteBut I don't understand the "bullshit" part. Flat World is totally non bullshit, as far as I can tell. They say you get the book for free and we make money by selling you other stuff.
My first question whenever I get to an enterprise is how are they going to make money. For example, in my blogs, I've tried to make it absolutely clear that I'm retired, so making money is a "nice to have" but not a "must have."
Since blogspot is free and easy, the marginal cost of freely bloviating and maybe making a difference in high school ed, only costs me time. Happily after 37 years in the game, I've plenty of hours to fill doing interesting things. Plus it does make it much easier to figure out how to keep my IRA straight.
I'll check out bookbon.If I think it's cool, I'll bloviate about it.
