  Although I agree with the sickening greed part, I don’t think it makes sense to make educational use free without have another system in place that pays for the writing of educational books. There’s plenty of content that imo should be free for educational use, but educational books only have an income from educational use, it’s their whole target audience. No income, no book :/

    Oh yes, I totally agree - I didn’t mean for the authors and even the publishers not to get paid.
