Although paper textbooks are quite popular these days, new kinds of textbooks have also become quite fashionable. It is because people want to experiment with new modes of study. They also do not want to be known as bookworms. Hence, the stress is on new kinds of textbooks. These online textbooks have actually made education popular among students. Students do not feel bored reading these books unlike the paper books. One of these textbooks is open textbooks. These open textbooks do not come with any cost; they can be freely downloaded from the internet. These textbooks are free license textbooks so unlike eBooks no prices have to be paid for their download. Many of these open source textbooks have evolved. Many of them are used in popular technical schools like Harvard and MIT. Students also find it easy using these textbooks because they contain so much information as compared to ordinary books. Since open textbooks are also interesting to read, people have been working hard for their creation. In fact, academics have been working hard for producing them. They did not even take much compensation for writing them. It is because since the sale of such eBooks is not done at any cost, how can someone be paid for writing them. Wikibooks are also a kind of open source books only. These books would also contain edited material. Wiki books contain an immense amount of material like annotated texts, manuals, instructional guides and textbooks.
Although regular students can rely on open source textbooks for getting information, they cannot be used for preparing reports. Therefore, students have to buy paper textbooks all the time. They cannot ignore getting them as they contain huge content.
Although such open textbooks are provided without any costs, their authors must be provided with some kind of royalties on their sale.
