38,000 College Students to Save $3 Million Utilizing Flat World Knowledge Open Source Textbooks in Fall 2009 Semester

This Fall semester, 38,000 college students at 350 colleges are enrolled to utilize Flat World textbooks, up from only 1,000 in Spring 2009 at 30 colleges.

“Traditional textbooks have clearly failed students and instructors,” added Flat World Knowledge CEO Eric Frank. “Similarly, digital textbook trials that force a single format, device, or price point will also fail. No single e-reading format or device will ever satisfy all students. “Our commercial open source textbook approach puts control and the power of choice in the hands of students and instructors.”
