Electronic edition (PDF) availability is an issue that needs to be addressed quickly because of ease of scanning due to scanners becoming very inexpensive. How much to charge or how to charge has to be fine tuned taking into consideration the target market. May be even fine tuned as we go along. Doing nothing and ignoring the reality is not going to help the publishers.

Free is nice for the student, but expenses are involved, however minimal in producing e-publications.<br />
<br />
So whether Kindle-izing or PDF-ing, I think it is perfectly OK to charge something for e-docs.<br />
<br />
Kalavinka Press, for example, charges $10 or 15 (I forget) for a downloadable PDF of their books. The paperback book prices are about double that.
