Yes, I am.
I'm salivating over the idea of replacing all of my textbooks with pdfs. But unfortunately I doubt I could get all of my textbooks on the kindle right now. And price is an issue. Checking on Amazon, there is not a large price difference between kindle textbooks, and real textbooks.
So the only reason I would get a dx is if the textbook and the kindle pdf were bundled together for a reasonable price. But I doubt that will happen.
- mattmcknight 17y agoTo make the price difference worse- your physical textbooks have a resale value, while the digital files do not.
- andreyf 17y agoI'm not sure if it's obvious or not, but PDF's of many popular textbooks are widely available either free as in beer: http://infolab.stanford.edu/~ullman/focs.html http://infolab.stanford.edu/~ullman/focs.html http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~vazirani/algorithms.html http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~vazirani/algorithms.html Or free as in money from a bank robbery: http://thepiratebay.org/browse/601/0/7 http://thepiratebay.org/browse/601/0/7
