An alternative business model for the textbook industry is to charge 99cts per book, sell a million and you're done, fuck the publisher, save the authors.

Games is another market already disrupted by iPhone games for 99cts. $50 for a pacman clone is overkill.

Convenience at the minimum price beats piracy all the time.

Empower the authors, give them tools to write and publish ebooks on their own in an online shop, like AppStore.

Make it easy and disruptive, like blogs, just write and publish, and profit!
