Depends on the ability of the teacher and their knowledge of their

That will leave room for entrepreneurs who can produce text to put on the
INET and bypass the publishers completely.  Mort wrote a text which he
could choose to market on the INET for a per sight fee.  His actual
earnings would probably be greater than if he were to go through a
publisher.  Text book publishers have long been fleecing the public and
I hope they finally get justice served.
