Costs 

Some media accessibility experts estimate that publisher investment required to develop and market accessible electronic textbooks could result in the unit prices of initially adopted accessible electronic textbooks being 25 to 35% higher than the unit prices of currently adopted electronic textbooks. However, after publishers have learned how to develop accessible electronic textbooks, the costs of individual units are estimated to be only 3 to 5% higher than the costs of electronic textbooks which are not accessible.

It should be emphasized that these are estimates only and that costs of producing and using electronic textbooks are factors to be studied and analyzed further.
