A new service for authors and readers, for teachers and students. Coming soon

E-textbooks are gaining in popularity today, and we should expect that they will "outperform" their paper "twins" and become more affordable. In particular, one would expect that the cost of e-textbooks would be lower than paper versions, as there is no printing component. But global practice now shows otherwise.

For example, British university libraries are outraged  by the cost of e-textbooks from "TOP publishers", which are now much more expensive than their paper counterparts. Thanks to the EbookSOS initiative  to present comparative tables, one can see, for example, that a popular printed biology textbook costs about 90 EUR, and a licence for this e-book for 3 users costs about 1155 EUR. This hardly creates conditions for accessibility, but the question is: what do authors get?
Perhaps the new service for authors and readers ScienceBook will be able to combine accessibility and interest of all parties to the process of providing educational literature?
