I live in Greece, fucking Greece, and the books are still provided to the students for free. And even if you lose the book, it usually costs around 30-50 euros.
yea the US is getting BUM fucked in textbooks. I look for used and international editions of the books in order to have the book. International editions are the same in lower quality paper and softcovers.
Edit: That being said, fuck 'em. I'm not paying $300+ for a damn book.
For real. Sorry authors and publishers, but if your book costs more than my class you can officially suck my dick. You wanna rip me off? I don't think so, I'll rip you off.
It's disturbing that your classes cost around $300....each of my classes cost around $1,200 a piece. And on that note, I've never purchased a textbook since my first semester as a freshman. Hell, my uni's library has all class textbooks on reserve so if I can't find the ebook, I'll just go to the library and scan the chapters and email myself the .pdf.

Textbooks are way more expensive, the people that write them have a lot more to lose if people distribute them for free.
