The Practising Law Institute, a nonprofit continuing legal education organization, has made 67 of its 90 titles available on Kindle. Can law school text books be far behind?
Andrew Frank, vice president at Gartner Inc., a market research firm seems to suggest that law school texts would also sell well in the e-book market.
"There are a lot of practical reasons to believe that the digital market may well be more profitable for publishers of legal, medical and educational texts," Frank said in a Wall Street Journal article. "Since these texts are reference material, the ability to index them and set up bookmarks, which you can do easily with the Kindle, will save time and money for users."
