It seems to me that the most powerful opportunity here would be not only to disrupt textbooks but also academic journals; in the process of tackling both areas as a unified problem of knowledge distribution, one might shorten the distance between the latest research and the established curriculum, as well as opening an avenue for better modes of teaching (as per the point made by `rcarrigan87).


I really like what PeerJ is doing in that space: https://peerj.com/

Really takes open access (which is great, but still expensive) to the next level. Very inexpensive publishing, and free preprints.
