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.
Note to self: Find color E-Ink monitor for textbooks
Yeah I’m not going to buy ebooks that expire so quickly.

Books… doing what? Expire?
Yeah wtf. That’s kinda books whole thing. They just sorts exist until they naturally end up in a charity shop.
