Hey, I’ve got a great idea. Why don’t we all write our books for, and sell them to, college students?

Students read a lot of books, right? And they’ve got money to burn. All we have to do is get our work adopted as required textbooks, and we’ll be rich. Students always buy whatever books they’re assigned for every course. We all know that. If we format our books for the Kindle DX, we’ll really corner the market because young readers love any kind of new technology.

Well . . . Maybe not so much.

Take a look at The Battle of College Textbooks Begins Anew, SurveyU’s examination of college students’ textbook buying habits. You may be surprised. Graphic by wordle.net. JK
