iBooks for 48 bucks
The Maine Learning Technology Initiative has 30,000 iBooks that the state has mostly paid off, and they are looking to get rid of them. That's why they are selling them to the schools that they are in for $8 a pop (that's the difference in what the state has paid and what is left over). Now, keep in mind that these iBooks have been in the hands of schoolchildren for 4 years so they are probably not in the best of shape (in general), but that is still a pretty good deal.
Luckily they aren't giving the public a chance to snag any, so there won't be any stampedes this time around.
