I got a etextbook on Pearson's site and it sucks! You have to be online to see it, it loads pages super slowly, and you can't search text at all. I literally took to the high seas for a textbook I already bought just to have a much more convenient version of it >_> --- http://i.imgur.com/nlaY1qH.jpg http://i.imgur.com/zHJ1OCo.gif http://i.imgur.com/btBPP4E.jpg http://i.imgur.com/1B3bMHw.gif https://imgur.com/nQik2zW ...

Wow. They can fuck off with that notion. I've only come across thier KS3 Science, middle school equivalent for US, which was the textbook used at a school I taught at years ago. Genuinely wasn't fond of using it at all. And I've never worked in a school that used thier GCSE / A Level books. So I'm curious as how many University/Colleges are using thier books for recommended reading. Point is, I look at this and see excess greed and anti-consumer rights management for an inferior product. --- I Shot the Sheriff. ... Copied to Clipboard!

A lot of professors hate this shit and don't even use textbooks sometimes.
