I had considered developing a version of the kindle which allowed a person to create a book on the device. Apple has done it, with their iPad 2.
As expected, Apple also launched a new app to write and publish books, called iBooks Author. You don't have to just be a textbook writer, however; you could write cookbooks, novels, or children's books. Any kind of book you can think of, you can build with iBooks Author. With a simple drag-and-drop interface, text is easy to place and alter, and it automatically wraps around media like pictures and movies, which you can resize on the fly. If you wrote your original document in Microsoft Word, iBooks Author quickly scans the pages for style and automatically lays out sections and headers for the book.
This will not only serve up textbooks, but allow instructors to create their own. Keep this in mind for your first book, the anthology, and how easy it will be to publish it immediately.
Today in Hong Kong almost no one talks politics, because there is so little government interference in peoples lives. Talk is about businesspeople and leaders of those other mediating institutions in society. Once upon a time it was just so in USA, too. Steve Jobs does more good even dead than any politician will ever do alive.

From the grave Steve Jobs is still making the world a better place. One big scandal in education is the cost of textbooks, a renown rip-off.
