Surely to god they can make an e-book CHEAPER than a 20lb textbook.

Rats. Good thing I'm well out of college!]]>Oct 20th 2009 5:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/20/barnes-and-noble-nooks-first-close-up/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/20/barnes-and-noble-nooks-first-close-up/
Depends on the book. Hardbacks are $10.00 cheaper in a lot of cases. Dan Brown's newest being one shining example. Paperbacks are closer in price. You also forget to note that Penguin Classics are about $5.00 to $8.00, but can often be had for free (legally!) on the Internet.

I do, however, agree that paperbacks should be cheaper than they are.

really, the day they have faster refresh, without the annoying black and white flashing, and also have color, will be the day i buy a e-reader, until then, this technology is just a prototype to me. like those old first adepts at the portable computer that were the size of 3 foot balls. ]]>Oct 20th 2009 6:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/20/barnes-and-noble-nooks-first-close-up/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/20/barnes-and-noble-nooks-first-close-up/
Do you really think that the cost of a textbook has very much to do with the cost of paper? It takes years of research and a zillion edits to put together those things. I'm not saying that they're not overpriced, but to assume the price should come tumbling down just because you eliminate paper, printing and most of the distribution costs misses that the real value is in the content. (And people getting all righteous and claiming they're going to torrent the books in retalitation are just stupid criminals.)]]>Oct 20th 2009 6:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/20/barnes-and-noble-nooks-first-close-up/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/20/barnes-and-noble-nooks-first-close-up/When did Dan Brown start writing Textbooks?

"will be the day i buy a e-reader, until then, this technology is just a prototype to me"

Which is why us early adopters have a responsibility to throw down coin to make sure that "promising" tech has a chance to become "mainstream" tech and lives long enough to improve.
