The Kindle DX runs you $489 as an upfront investment, and the average student spends $488 on new and used course materials a year. In a nutshell, Amazon is asking the average student to fork over more money for the Kindle and then buy the textbooks too.

I was spending that much per semester 30 years ago. I wonder where they are getting their numbers. In fact when I could keep it to about $400 in any given semester I was THRILLED. I remember my last undergrad year I spent around $1800 on books.
