[nabs-l] Accessible textbook legislation

[T. Joseph Carter]

I find it rare that ebooks purchased online can be used as long as 
you want.  Most are time-limited purchases designed for students who 
are taking a class and only need the book for six months.

That's totally inappropriate for a book you will reference throughout 
your career.
