Yeah, this article sounds like it’s written by someone trying to justify his purchase

That’s reasonable, imho. It’s such a niche product that it doesn’t have economies of scale to bring the price down.

I was actually expecting a higher price, tbh. 22 university textbooks would set you back about $2200, right? (Or so I hear… I haven’t been in a university bookstore in over a decade.)

I love the idea of owning one, but I’d never buy it. Makes sense it’s mostly schools and public libraries buying them.
