Apple will reportedly reveal its plan for iPad textbooks on Thursday in New York. Scribes everywhere are calling it a game-changer in the publishing industry. All of a student’s books could be on a single tablet, costs for school districts and college students would plummet, books themselves might evolve from passive to interactive, and the stoic publishing industry could embrace the Apple cart instead of trying to find their way forward independently. What if legal books are next?
“In an ideal world, I imagine buying my casebook from the bookstore and then going onto West or Lexis and buying the e-book supplement. However, the supplement would be more than just updated cases, it would also contain the entire text and more up-to-date commentary,” law school blogger Katie Lupor wrote on the Social Media Law Student blog in 2010. “Am I dreaming? Yes. There is no way this is going to happen soon and it would be incredibly cost-prohibitive but hey, a girl can dream.”
