Over time, there is almost no comparison to a textbook that I might purchase for my classroom at the cost of $50 - 60 / student. The ability to embed pictures and video right on the page is different. The fact that students actively need to involve themselves with the construction of the information contained on the page ensures that they are much more active in making meaning then sitting in front of a published book could make them.
