Flat World Knowledge and Bookshare Partner For Accessible College eTextbooks

Flat World Knowledge, publisher of digital college textbooks, and Bookshare, the accessible online library for people with print disabilities, have announced a content partnership for college textbooks. Flat World, which was founded in February, publishes open college textbooks, meaning they can be custom tailored online for particular classes; so far the company has 480 participating colleges. The online books themselves are free, and Flat World’s makes money by selling things like black and white or color versions of the custom books.

The agreement initially covers eleven titles, with an additional fifty in the works to be released over the next two years.
