More likely publishers saw no need for a cheap format for textbooks, given that the target audience was captive. You can decide not to buy that expensive hardcover of a fiction novel and instead borrow it from a library or search for an used copy, or just not read it at all, but you have to buy the textbook if your studies demand it. So why make it cheap if you can make it expensive?
