Abstract
Some textbook publishers would have us think that the electronic book, the virtual book, the online book, are superior to physical books. The electronic book file cannot be read without a software package and without a device such as a tablet reader. [...]according to some publishers, the electronic book is not owned by you; rather, it belongs to the publisher-who lets you read it for a price. [...]let's stop bookicide, the 21st century equivalent of book burning.
