Open textbooks improve learning and teaching by insuring that every student has access to the resources needed to succeed in a course from the first day of class. Open textbooks are free or low-cost on the web and modestly priced for downloads, use on eReaders, or in bound format.
A true open textbook will allow you to edit the work as you see fit, while maintaining compliance with the copyright license. Faculty have the ability to add, subtract, reorder, or otherwise modify the text, graphics, and other components of an open textbook in order to best suit their teaching needs.
