The first four are from McGraw-Hill, and described as best-sellers in biology, economics, marketing and psychology; these should be available today, at an early cost of $3 per chapter or $70 for an entire book."</em></p><p><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/at/auto/1282533953.usr105634.jpg" /></p><p>This is a good start, but I still think that the prices are too high when you are talking about a digital version of a text book. I love the interactivity, and I think that when more sources become available, they will lower the price. You can see what it's all about at the <a href="http://www.inkling.com/" target="_blank">Inkling site</a>, or check it out on <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/inkling/id379351586?mt=8" target="_blank">iTunes</a>. What are your thoughts?&nbsp;</p>
