Only hours after Apple make a series of announcements about their push into the textbook market, The MacJury met to examine the impact of such things as changes to the End User Licensing Agreement (EULA) and what it may mean for non-textbook publishers, the text book price ceiling and the focus on high school level books. Is Apple taking a leadership role in moving textbooks to ebooks, or just trying to exert control over part of the ebook space? The evidence is considered by the panel of Weldon Dodd, Tonya Engst, Pat Fauquet and host Chuck Joiner.
