- jimbob45 7y agoDigital books are fine. It's the terrible way they've been monetized that's the problem. College textbooks simply aren't worth $150 anymore but the publishers are desparately trying to hold onto that valuation.
- awat 7y ago100% and that’s before adding all the temporary access, unique codes, platform specific access, etc rackets.
- applecrazy 7y agoYeah, it's absolutely terrible. Sometimes it's 100 dollars for subpar online software that you need to do homework, particularly in subjects such as Biology and Chemistry. Absolutely frustrating
- rc_kas 7y agoI'm not talking about cost of the book. I'm talking about studying. I feel strongly that you focus better and study better when reading a paper book. Digital products are too prone to offer distractions that take away from focus.
