You and me both, especially for textbooks. However, I doubt this will happen. RFB is into audio books, mainly because someone just has to read the book into a microphone; there is no scanning, correcting, and everything else that goes into a book's text being digitized. While I would love to see it happen, I do not think it will because of the extra work and overhead. That said, I could be completely wrong; the above are just my opinions and assumptions.
