[Marc] Andreessen and [Osman] Rashid talk about how  Kno is offering a total product \u2013 software, hardware and services \u2013 that  will be compelling to the college user. They can purchase textbooks and  view them just as they look in printed format. Users will be able to  take notes, draw on the pages, etc., just like the print versions. And  they\u2019ll be able to access those books on a variety of devices \u2013 even  eventually their desktop and laptops \u2013 because Kno\u2019s software is built  on webkit and designed to run on a variety of hardware setups. And  there\u2019s a normal web browser too for the Internet in general.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">As for textbook pricing, Rashid says the model will work. Imagine an  iTunes for college textbooks, he says, and users who purchase the tablet  and all their books will be paying about the same amount v. just buying  print books over the first 13 months. That means individual books on  the Kno will be priced lower than the average of $100 for the print  versions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why is the device compelling?
