Since there is almost no demand for e-books (it turns out consumers hate them so much Adobe is pulling its its eBook packaging and distribution software, Adobe Content Server, from the market) publishers naturally see them as a good venue for textbooks. I wonder whether these publishers think there's some sort of long-term advantage in turning education into a miserable and frustrating experience. Because I sure can't see the short-term upside. Oh, you know what there is a demand for, right? Google. So naturally, the publishers want to block that.
