Wow, that's cheap! I had to pay about fl.500 for my books (which would translate to about 400$, I think...) and I did one of the cheapest courses you could get (only a few books required).


Anyway, if Amazon would really be smart, they'd make the reader cheaper for students. Buy all your books at Amazon and get the reader for half-price (or something like that...)
