[nabs-l] Accessible textbook legislation

[Robert Spangler]

the only reason that I would agree with you on this is because we get 
our books in electronic format.  Usually, if you get an EText of a book 
online, it is cheaper than if you were to go get it physically from the 
bookstore.  So, in that case, it is unreasonable that we should pay the 
same price that everyone else does.
