More than the high price, the forced obsolescence every 2 years is what really gets me.

The forced obsolescence may have far less to do with the book itself, and far more to do with the whims of the professor or institution.
I recall at least one case where a book was required for a course that had nothing whatsoever to do with the coursework, but was required because the professor had written it and could boost sales by making it a requisite for students taking his class.
