“So the textbooks really, honestly, I feel like it's one of the last industries that haven't been substantially disrupted by digitalization. They're not being used anymore by students. You know, students bring home a textbook, maybe, but for the most part, if they have a question, they're not looking it up in a book. They're looking it up online. They're looking up videos and YouTube, and so I really see long-term that the textbook companies are on the way out. Or at least up for a substantial disruption?”
