Students and educators often encounter errors in academic textbooks but lack a centralized place to report them. A platform for reporting and discussing textbook errors could fill this gap. Educators and publishers might pay for access to verified error reports. Start with a simple forum for math textbooks, then expand to other subjects. The risk is low user adoption if the platform doesn’t gain traction.
