Apple Said to Talk With Hearst, McGraw-Hill on Tablet - Spencer E. Ante and Greg Bensinger, Business Week
Apple Inc. has held talks with Hearst Corp., McGraw-Hill Cos. and Hachette Book Group about including their magazine, educational and trade titles on its tablet computer, according to people familiar with the discussions. The talks with Hearst focused on the company providing magazine content for the device, said one person, who declined to be identified because the information isn’t public. McGraw-Hill’s education unit is discussing getting electronic textbooks and parts of its online learning system onto the tablet, said two other people.
Comments:
I feel that this is a move that should have happened long ago. Textbooks being converted to e-books just makes sense. Kudos to Apple for trying to make it a reality.
