Online college texts are free, but not free from ads
---------------------------------------------
At more colleges, textbooks are free from the Web. The catch? The books
contain
advertisements from a number of companies including FedEx Kinko's. The
ads aim
to lighten the financial burden on students created by rising textbook
prices,
yet some critics worry that they will dilute a book's editorial
integrity.
