每周广播一则（十二）：纸制教科书渐被淘汰
* o. w3 G; G) Q, v2 |9 XAs we all know, American university textbooks are very expensive. Students can't afford to buy second-hand books or rent textbooks. In the past, in order to guarantee income, booksellers had to launch a new version of textbooks every three years, which is a common practice in the industry. Pearson believes that nowadays, when it is converted into an e-book, it will be more beneficial to income, because the content of textbooks can be continuously updated every month, and students can also buy money..
