They are what, half the cost of what they were 6-12 months ago?

Not to mention that $175 will get you what, 3 textbooks? Maybe 4?

Keep in mind that Amazon apparently is doing a few custom tasks for the school, including preventing students from changing the accounts of the devices
A 10.8% discount is not much. It should've been larger.
