If cost is an issue, ask your book reps if your intro book can be published 
in an alternate format (such as paper back or spiral bound). The pictures 
are still in color and the cost is considerably cheaper (although not as 
much as the book you were mentioning). I believe that before mark-up these 
books (with the paper back) can be only $45-48.
We looked at on-line formats here and found out that our students were just 
printing out on-line readings because they felt more comfortable reading 
the materials that way (and it was costing our dept. quite a bit in ink and 
paper!).
Just some info in case you didn't know.
