Resurrecting.
I expect to specify a Flatworld Knowledge book for Spring 2012 semester. I am
looking to adapt (they are easy to customize) an Organizational Behavior book
for my I/O Psychology class. There is also a site called Connexions (cnx.org)
that offers a similar model: online = free, dow
Here is an article that lays out their business model.

The basic book is free but you can purchase additional features (which 65% of
their customers do).

In reading this series of articles I noticed one of them talked about Flatworld
Knowledge. I had vaguely heard of them before and so checked out their website.
Have any of you used Flatworld knowledge books? Do any of you know if there is
no hidden cost and it is truly 100% free to faculty and s
Christopher DI fail to see the point of this piece.So what if teachers are
aware of cost of text.Don't teachers get their free copies?From my experience a
signidicant
amount of college book stores are privately operated.Someone has to make a
profit.
