Hello Nick,
Ahh, I see what you're saying. In that case, that (and the well-being of student's backs/spines everywhere) would be good reason for school textbooks to finally move to an electronic format (but of course, that has plenty of other downsides...)
what I want to see (as a first step) is a printing press build to be installed at the schools. Then they just need to get a PDF and a license to print X copies: "Oh we ran out of that title, but we'll have a batch hot off the press in 10 minuets."
