I am starting on a second career, and starting school next week to take a couple of prerequisite courses needed for my Master's program.
The local bookstore has my books for the following prices:
Book A - 120 new, 88 used
Book B - 135 new, 94 used
Now I can get electronic versions of these books for my COMPUTER:
Book A - 68 for 150 day license
Book B - 77 for 150 day license
Neither book is available for my Kindle DX (or any other e-reader).
Does this make sense? I would gladly pay the electronic verison price if I could use it on my Kindle.
So what is a resourceful student to do? Buy the books from Amazon sellers:
Book A - 54 new
Book B - 66 new
And then scan them into pdf files, and convert them for the Kindle. I hope the sell the books to other students the first day or so of class, maybe for half what I paid. Everybody wins.
When will textbook publishers learn to deal with the modern era? They seem to be dimmer than the music publishers.
