Free textbooks!
That's right, FREE textbooks.
There's a bit of a catch, though: you have to write them first.
Amedeo are offering cash rewards for people who write textbooks that are freely available on t'internet.
The first award is for a textbook on tuberculosis. The award is for €12,500.
They're planning to do more, but need people to help with the cash for awards. If you have tens of Euros lying around that you can't find a use for, let them know.
Amedeo are interested in medical texts, but this is such a good idea I hope we'll see it copied in other areas.
