"Books should cost less and they should be digital."

- Walt Mossberg, columnist for WSJ and trusee for Brandeis University

"IU's strategy to adopt eTexts will provide students and faculty with a smooth transition to the coming era where e-readers and digital content will quickly become commonplace. It is important that IU is on the cutting edge of this transition and is providing attractive terms and prices to students as well as great selection and support to instructors as they look to adopt eTexts for the classroom."

- Nick D'Amico President - IU Graduate and Professional Student Organization

"The Indiana University Student Association supports IU's eTexts Initiative. The new models can greatly reduce the costs of student textbooks and can help students learn. We are very proud that IU is leading in this arena."

- Barrett Tenbarge IUSA Chief of Internal Affairs

“The e-text initiative is exceptionally important in ameliorating a major problem for almost all students: the high cost of textbooks. In response to this problem, unfortunately, many students choose from a roster of precarious options: share a book, photocopy parts of a book, or—in the worst cases—try to get by without one. The results often include failure, withdrawal from courses, and inadequate progress toward completion of a degree. The e-text movement, and that’s what it is, can generate benefits for students, faculty, and publishers alike.”
