This month, Indiana University made agreements with a software company and five publishers that influence the economic terms for the future of e-textbooks. Instead of having a book disappear after 120 to 180 days, students access their eTexts as long as they attend the university. Instead of paying 60 to 85 percent of the retail price of a physical textbook, they pay 35 percent or less through a technology fee.
