I really think Khan Academy should publish a textbook that everyone can use. Cheap or free, doesn't change every year, allowed to print out yourself.

Isn't one of the Gates kids doing some educational reform?

I don't think the problem is the availability, it's probably the adoption. But I'm not in higher ed.

Exactly. We already have stuff like OpenStax. Great content, but comparatively little adoption by faculties.
