There’s a lot less dust and grime in today’s Wild West, but enough unknowns to compete in any new frontier.

Case in point: A new electronic book project started by the Nebraska Department of Education with the goal of offering free instructional content to teachers across the state.

The NeBook Project is a partnership of schools and state and nonprofit agencies to create electronic books and share them through the Education Department.

The project might be new, but the idea isn't.
