people still do

cause they take some stupid paper like history or whatnot

compsci is pretty alright though, as I've been taking it for four years, and haven't bought a single textbook for it, nothing was assigned

paper is nice, but if my subject was book heavy, I'd definitely get a kindle instead of buying physical books over and over again for hundreds of dollars

only sometimes buying a workbook made by the university which is needed, but much cheaper

I find it so hard to concentrate on ebooks though like if I have a paperback book I'll finish the book because it's easy on the eyes and I paid money for it

But if I get the ebook I'll get adhd and start using discord or facebook instead

textbooks are a fucking scam

ye same

to be honest, that is what happens @Krieger The Viking Plague Doctor

thats why I go to the library and turn off all my internet to study

but I'd rather spend nothing than something

i usually download the textbook and just print it myself so i can write in the margins, i still hate ebooks

I'd rather download the ebook and print it

Ayy

ayyy

like minds

It'd still be cheaper too

but then you are paying for print costs

Like a textbook can cost like $300

and that could be expensive

But printing in black and white is cheap

I guess so

But then the contender is the weight

If you must take it with you

Also some print companies will refuse to print your order due to copyright

Just buy a printer and use it at home uwu

do you even lift fgt

printers are a fucking scam

how so

ink costs are stupidly high

you get it printed and bound in china for a pittance and then mailed to you

my friends have been doing it every semester

Really now?

via Aliex?

not aliex
