They're only 50% cheaper because they want to make them more attractive than physical copies. If they ever kill the physical publishing they will charge whatever the hell they want for DRM'd digital copies again.
The actual printing/shipping costs are a rather small percentage of the full cost of textbooks.

The content can be refined and tweaked with updated pedagogical techniques and knowledge as they develop. The ebooks don't need to be bound by regular page numbers and the print books can be compact guides and references.
