In Brazil, copyrighted textbooks are a significant part of the educational system, with major publishers like Pearson, Saraiva, and Melhoramentos dominating the market. Educational institutions often struggle with balancing access and copyright protection. The concept of open educational resources (OER) has been growing as an alternative. In the USA, textbook costs are a major concern for students, leading to increased interest in open-source alternatives and used book markets.
