Let fans only vote on the deep cuts and keep the essentials separate. I want to see Natural Born Killer and Coming Home.

This sounds like a fantastic startup. I really hope you guys take off years down the line. This is where the textbook industry SHOULD be going.
A couple of questions:
How are you getting publishers to license you their books? The exorbitant selling price for textbooks now seems like your current model would be a difficult sell to older people not as in-touch with technology.
Do you plan on offering rentals to be compatible on multiple platforms? Sometimes it's much easier to read on a tablet in bed than on your computer but the option to have both would be nice.
How do you plan on incorporating supplemental materials like MyStatLab? Would there be different rental models that give you the base book and then more expensive models with all of the material? I know things like StatLab are a one-time buy and that's usually because you're buying the book up front.
This is a longshot but I'm looking into getting my MBA and pursuing a marketing career post-graduation. Any chance you'd be hiring?
