I don't understand why digital book sharing hasn't caught on like music/movie sharing, which undisputedly thrived among college students, at least until reasonable alternatives like iTunes and Amazon Music Store came along. You could read digital or print out a hardcopy. Every school I've been to had plenty of print quota for that. I imagine kids are spending more on books than they did/are on music. Is it just the difficulty of scanning/printing?
