Six out of 10 students also preferred buying used textbooks over new or electronic textbooks even though e-books are generally a third less expensive. E-books sales have been slow to take off.

OK, I'm confused. Page-for-page textbooks were the most expensive books I can remember purchasing and here they are saying that ebooks are 1/3rd less expensive than pbooks. Even without the ability to highlight text (not that I ever did that in college textbooks) I would go for the ebook in a heartbeat.
