Price of books
Doesn't anyone else feel like they are being totally ripped off when they go to get their textbooks? I seen a segment on the news the other night that alot of times when you buy the new edition of a textbook there is nothing new in it. If you think about it how many times does our math system change. Why do they need to have a new edition every two to three years. This just irks me. College is expensive enough without ripping us off for the books. Just had to vent.

For used, i usually like to buy from students.. you save money and they get more than what they'd get back from the bookstore..

The only thing really stopping them is the copyright issues of people easily being able to send copies to their friends. As soon as they put some sort of protection on that then I think we're bound to be able to download books directly onto our computer or carry them around in our pockets on a usb drive...for half the cost
