I personally wish Massachusetts had been in the forefront of this move, but Massachusetts doesn’t buy enough textbooks to dent the market.
What technology will work best with this trend?
How open will this move be?

its a wonderful idea and a very environmentalist solution, and if it has been working with digital lesson plan for homeschooling, it may also works for regular education.
