This, I think, is the killer question: Will etextbooks cost considerably less than the p version? The other questions have to do with whether the textbooks "expire". Currently some of the etextbooks are priced within 10% of the p version and self-destruct after x number of months (sometimes as few as 4). Plus there is no resale market for the etextbook, which is a market a lot fo students rely on -- both as sellers and buyers.
No matter what, it will be interesting to see how it works out.
