We all know what "kill" means. In this case, it means finding a problem that inconveniences every students on the planet, and removing it to make way for a new problem.
Problem solved: removing textbooks. Added value: removed textbook dependency. Answers in commas because they're so incredibly evident upon reading the title.
"Removing textbooks" is not solving a problem and beside textbooks are not a problem or the problem addressed.
Regarding the added value, removing a dependency does not require to "kill" the object of dependence.
Of course I understood the underlying idea. But you misunderstood my point.
The thing is that the "mission statement" is wrong. This is indeed so confusing that you are unable to clearly state the _real_ problem and added value although it is "so incredibly evident".
Killing may be familiar to you, as well as down voting. Not in my place.
You're focusing way too much on the concept of killing here. That's why I downvoted you. You said nothing useful, and attempted an over-the-top conceit to express yourself. As somebody who values content over outrage, and as a writer who thought your conceit was poorly-written, I downvoted you.

You're talking in circles. Stop that. Nobody likes it. The mission statement isn't "wrong", it says exactly what its goal is.

Your place? Hacker News? Your life?
Look. I can respect people who disagree with me. I can even respect people who mangle the English language with every statement they make. What you're saying is both garbled and wrong. State yourself clearly and I'll address the points you make.
You seem to believe you have a monopole of knowing what all people like and don't like, on what is right or wrong, what is good or bad, what is the right understanding of things and such. These assumptions explain your poor judgment.
How condescending to write "State yourself clearly and I'll address the points you make". It matches well your narcissism. BTW, I had to laugh when I saw your email address : i.am@me.com !
