At UBC and SFU, their bookstores sell both digital and physical versions of required textbooks and, yes, the professors use the same hardcover edition as assigned to the students though the faculty pricing tends to be quite a bit lower than the student price.

I'm not talking a textbook. In school we've read books that were not textbooks. So if your version and the teachers does not line up because the page numbers do not match, you cannot go to the same page.
