There are not very many people who will take the time to scan and uploaded a textbook. Uploading a movie just takes a few minutes.

Maybe it's because those who do pay don't want to share with anyone else because they had to pay....that being said I just graduated and refused to purchase textbooks, they are insanely priced and new editions are the same thing with the chapters rearranged and questions altered slightly. It's stupid.

I've always thought is was because in order to upload a text book you'd have to scan each page. More effort than videotaping or ripping a movie. So there is less content.

unless there is a more efficient method, a group of people could donate, so each person gets a dollar for scanning a page, enter info in software, software compiles pdf. theres a ton of books but get a smart person to handle the software, it could work.

also it's harder to scan an entire textbook so there are fewer people willing to leak them
