The prices of textbooks are becoming more and more expensive in many countries， especially in America．Textbooks now cost students，according to various studies，about $900 per year．But in some courses this fall in America，students won't pay for the textbooks．Their textbooks will have ads for some companies．

Selling ad space keeps newspapers, magazines and websites either cheap or free．But so far，the model hasn't spread to college textbooks-partly for fear that the public would consider it undignified（不庄重的）adding ads in textbooks．

The professors who handed out the Freeload books to their classes last year said it was a hit．The students welcomed the Freeload books very much，especially the working-class kids trying to go through college．To ask them to go to the bookstores and spend hundreds of dollars is pretty wasteful．One of the students once said. “I definitely don't mind ads if it helps with the price．”

However, the new model of textbooks faces big obstacles．Freeload doesn't have enough well-known textbook authors across a range of subjects, and some people have the objections that textbooks shouldn't have ads．Whether Freeload can get great Success will depend on its ability to attract popular textbook authors．
