I had a professor in college who sold his textbooks at around ~$60 each and said he was getting $30k a year from it. He co-authored it with someone else and I'm sure the platform he was using took a big chunk of the profits, but even so, $30k is still a fuck ton of money. Professors who force students to buy their textbooks at several hundred dollars are absolute greedy scum.
