Please note that publishers are walking the line between developing quality content that works on different devices and operating systems and not being beholden to one particular hardware provider. There are no real industry standards so the ability to guarantee that all content will work on all devices or platforms is difficult. While digital content eliminates the cost of printing physical books, it does not eliminate development costs such as research, hiring authors, art, photography, illustrations, fact checking and adherence to curriculum and pedagogical standards. New processes and systems to protect Digital Rights Management are also necessary as well as tools to manage royalty payments etc. K-12 Digital Textbook Market (source internet@school magazine) o 2010- Digital textbooks accounted for approximately 1% of the US textbook market o 2012- 5.5% o 2013- 10.5% estimated o 2014- 18.8% estimated .
