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

Edit: That being said, fuck 'em. I'm not paying $300+ for a damn book.

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.

I think someone's getting ripped off.

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.

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.
