Now that I think about it, I wonder if sharing books on the same account will work with the DX or if textbook licensing will prohibit that. It would be cool if students could group together on one account and share textbooks (provided they share many of the same classes).
I'm just speaking from previous experience. The chances are extremely likely that the prices will only be 5-10% off. Textbook companies are the greediest publishers of the bunch. They have a billion dollar used book market to fight off, but even if these pick up, they won't drop prices much.

If they do sell them significantly less, I will eat my shoe.
