Resale price of old iPads is also higher than that of used textbooks, but even without that using it for 3 semesters (and as an electronic textbook only) makes it a cheaper option than traditional textbooks.
I graduated from an online college that used e-textbooks. They were in PDF format and I was able to use my Dell WinXP laptop and/or my Dell desktop. Can a student today still use a laptop or desktop instead of having to purchase an iPad? My point here is, if you have a laptop with Adobe Reader, why go out and purchase an iPad?
