LONDON (Alliance News) - A string of British universities have stopped buying Pearson's teaching materials over a row over charges for ebooks, The Telegraph reported, citing publishing industry sources.
According to the report, some universities including Imperial College London have sought to purge all Pearson materials from their courses.
Pearson's UK higher education unit told universities in August that it would bring in sharp price rices on library purchases of their ebooks, resulting in some library bodies to write to Pearson chief executive John Fallon to appeal for a reverse in policy.
