Free online textbooks may have a future

Free online textbooks http://collegeopentextbooks.org/businessbooks.html The Community College Open Textbook Collaborative* (CCOTC), funded by The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, is a collection of colleges, governmental agencies, educational nonprofits, and other education-related organizations is working to develop online textbooks for community college students.
NC State gives students access to free online textbooks http://chronicle.com/blogPost/North-Carolina-State-U-Gives/21238/
It looks like the era of free online textbooks is approaching. Some older students may print out the content, but I bet the younger students will be reading online.
