What do they spend $400 to $800 on each semester? textbooks
If an illegal copy is known to be available, how likely is it that the average student will get it?
To be honest, I don't see any of the portable readers to be good enough for textbooks. So I don't think that will matter. What I see if people grabbing an ebook textbook, trying it, finding it's not good enough and then going to go get the print edition.
