• Its kinda fucked, especially since McGH, the other big textbook company, offers theirs online with tuition as built in course materials. Like, on the one hand I understand them only offering access during the course but if they’re also charging you for access that’s horseshit. Idk, I just open my books in reader mode and then print them 😅

        I hate this move to only having ebooks. I have to have actual books to read through. I can’t stare at a screen and concentrate to comprehend the topic.

          I’ve got my stuff customized to be as close to real paper as I can manage regarding contrast and readability but sometimes I just can’t and have to look at my printed copies instead.

          Screens aren’t meant for reading, they’re meant for watching.
