Well, with my former highschool...
Each textbook was about $100. With 1200 students, roughly six textbooks per, and about one-third of the textbooks needing replacement every year, plus sales tax (0.13), the value of one year's textbooks is 1.05 million. Roughly one third of that is spent every year on new textbooks, for about 1/3rd of a million.
As opposed to an iPad per student that stays at school... 349.99 plus tax is around $410, plus a warranty for $80 (Don't remember how long they last, usually 2-5 years, so I'll pin it at 3) for around 500 dollars, multiplied by students. This is only about $600,000 a year, no extra cost other than Internet, which is inexpensive anyways for unlimited bandwidth (80-100 dollars per month, with about 100 dollars given if I'm off.)
It would be much cheaper, but harder to manage and would need much more...
*sunglasses*
paperwork.
You do realize you still have to buy an electronic version of the book for students, right?
