• I like it...
  I'm really liking it for some classes where I don't plan to keep the book. The savings is up front. For example - in one of my classes the book is 90. Buy back is about 45. Digital cost 30. In the end, I do pay less for that book than a hard copy purchase. Books that I may need as a reference in the future...I can't buy a version what will lock in five months. I also don't think I'd like the digital option when using a desktop computer or a normal notebook. On a tablet it is nice. I did run into a slight problem with a professor that didn not allow computer usage during open book quiz/exams. Students appealed to his common sense. He now allows digital books and soft copies of class notes. He had become interested in how we interact with the information and use the books. Which is a bad thing since he is now full of suggestions. He has also started comparing...out loud. He'll announce average grade on work for computer users v. non-computer users. That is also bad.
