NPR ran a story this morning where a few colleges are just beginning to eliminate textbooks with online content. But the goal was to reduce the cost by half!

I noticed that same-pricing bit too. Print-delivery with a nominal additional charge for online access might be attractive for international subscribers (to overcome long delivery delays). I'd have a hard time giving up the incredible print-photos in the magazine.

Hooray - but then I''m one of those international customers who has to wait AGES for it to turn up, if it turns up at all (I love Royal Mail).

Plus I can archive past issues in a paper-less way now.
