They’re just as expensive still, plus depending on your college, you may have to pay for online access codes for your homework on top of textbooks

Fortunately, pdfs of textbooks are usually pretty easy to find

Wait what? Don’t book usually come in a physical copy that has (usually on the back) a code for the digital one? It’s different in the USA? That’s bullshit

  I am from the USA, but it depends on your college and class. Sometimes, it was a purely digital purchase, sometimes, the book and the access code were bundled together, and sometimes, the book and the access code were separate. I’ve also seen colleges that have textbook rental at no extra cost

  they come attached in a seperate package, or pamphlet. you can pirate the book online, but you wont get any legit codes.

  It’s usually a one-use code, so if you buy a used textbook the code is invalid
