This is just awful. And here I was feeling bad about choosing a book that cost 25 Euros for my class last semester....

At my university, course folders (with relevant articles, excerpts from books, etc.) have been in use since forever, and a few years ago an e-reader programme has been introduced to provide for digital course folders. You can't upload whole copyrighted books, but you are allowed to upload selections and articles and stuff like that. Quite nifty.
