My sister literally has to take a giant rolling suitcase to school for all her huge medical textbooks. So that's a factor.

Considering how many text books come in phone book size I'd say this is a no brainer. Though, price might not be unimportant. I remember many fellow students who would take already large textbooks to a copy shop and get some even bigger (A4) pirate books back just to save the price of a used text book. So some students are definitely willing to suffer physically to save a buck financially.
