</li>

<li>Electronic versions of textbooks are not reducing the number of printed books.&nbsp; Students have to buy / lease the paper books, then get the electronic version.&nbsp; And, in many cases they cannot (easily) re-selly the paper copy for even half of what they paid.&nbsp; In the case of grade school / highschool they cannot sell the books since they are just leased.
