        I have downloaded the books through the VitalSource software and I have a total of 1487 pages across the 6 books while my friends from last year say they had 600 pages books with at least 2000 pages in total. Did they reduce the amount of pages or am I not seeing something?

            The thing is I don’t know if there’s actually less content. The pages could simply contain more stuff so that there’s still as much content but on less pages.

              i read something somewhere (i think CFA Candidate Resources) that the page numbering is different in VitalSource this year to assist with printing when it comes to different screen sizes, resolution, and zooming in/out

              with the L2 curriculum, every section start (1, 2, 2.1, 2.2, solutions, answers, summary, etc.) only looks like 1 page, even though when printed is much longer

              I can assure you that there was a lot more than 1487 last year! The was one book with 620 pages alone (FRA possibly).

              Well there are certainly fewer pages, I don’t know if there is less content though…
