I'm not in college but my wife is and the amount she spends on textbooks is ridiculous, every course needs at least one $60+ book (normally written by the professor, nice way to forcibly sell your book and make some cash!).

Is that the normal in the US/Canada? I went to university in the UK and I bought maybe 5 textbooks my entire degree, none of which were compulsory. 2nd year onwards we mostly used scientific journals which we could at least access freely at university.
