Details via David Farber‘s list. Excerpt from the e-mail that a reader got from a grandson: “This company must be making a killing–selling a $150 textbook for $100 and instead of having to print and ship every textbook, they just need to set up a server. I can’t see how anyone would want to buy a book that would expire in 5 months…” Earlier info here.
