and even if the markets were the same... $100 is too much for a text book
I'm in ECEn 582 and the book cost arount $100. But, they were nice and let us download the errata of errors for free. Considering the errata is 43 pages long, that was very generous of them.
But seriously, if I pay $100 for a book I would normally expect it to be pretty free of errors. But these are textbooks and we don't have much choice.
we should have a choice. we're getting screwed. they are taking advantage of college students who are required to purchase textbook in order to pass their courses.
why isn't even textbook available on CD ROM or for download for me to use on my laptop yet? the technology has been available for years!
why? easy. they would loose money.
it's the same deal os the stupid, pathetic recording labels who don't want to loose money and it's pathetic. i wish i had the organizational power to boycott them.
