New initiative offers Florida college students free digital versions of pricey textbooks.

Through a new initiative state university system officials plan to announce today, Florida college students can get digital versions of some of those pricey textbooks for free. Students who really want a print version can order one custom-bound for between $30 and $50 — far cheaper than even many used textbooks.

The project, dubbed Orange Grove Texts Plus, is a partnership involving the University Press of Florida, the state university system’s nonprofit publishing arm; the Virginia publisher Integrated Book Technology; and Orange Grove, the state’s digital database of K-20 teaching material.
