Just a word of caution in reading etext books purchased through Amazon is that not all have real page numbers; a good many still use location numbers instead. I'm currently in the last semester of an MS program and this was an issue I ran into when I excitedly bought my first etext books. Without the page numbers it was difficult to cite the text for research and it posed some issues when communicating with classmates and the professor. I ended up having to purchase the print editions and paid extra that semester for books.
