Dear Colleagues,

The US textbook market is worth $4.5bn annually (2010 Association of American Publishers) with the vast majority currently being spent on traditional printed books.

IMMEDIATE CHANGE
Few believe this will be the case in 5 years time.
The physical device landscape is starting to crystallise.
Florida has recently committed to spending 50% of their instructional budget on digital textbooks and digital content by 2015-16
The Alabama Legislature is considering providing every child in the state with tablet device to consume textbooks (at the cost of at least $100mn).

IMMINENT CHANGE
The business landscape is changing too; Apple has released textbook authoring software and has signed deals with large publishers to adapt their content to target school classrooms, and now Barnes & Nobel has partnered with Microsoft to corner the college textbook market.

Q & A
The transition to new delivery formats raises many questions for publishers.
So, the last thing you want to be worrying about is the image licensing agreements for your projects and how they pertain to new digital distribution formats.
