Tablet computers are now running in the $300 - $1000 range and there's no reason to suppose they won't go lower in price. At a certain point, therefore, it makes sense just to sell students the tablet with the required texts and software preloaded. Make sure they update through the university WiFi system, and you can get away with giving one tablet per student for a full degree program.
