I don't know, looks to me that one decently busy semester would recoup the cost of the device, and add to that that some schools had discounted prices on DXes, I don't think price was the main issue.
Maybe fragility? Old School resistance to change? (ha! it's funny cuz we're talking about school!) Maybe not ENOUGH of the textbooks available at the time to make it desirable (why buy a reader and STILL have to deal with a pack of heavy books, too?)?
