      Hey guys,

      Does anyone else think it’s a little ridiculous how we are forced to buy the e-book for an additional $150?? I only want the print version, but the only option I see when registering is to buy the E-Book + Print for a total of $300!!

      Why is there not an option to only get the print version of the curriculum?

      Agree that the policy sometimes doesn’t make sense…

        Because you are – effectively – buying only the print version. There is a marginal cost of pretty much zero for the eBook, so they offer it ‘for free’.

          I’m sure they have some sort of deal with VitalSource technologies. Also, they have years of information seeing how many people picked print vs online so they must have figured it was worth it with the deal they worked out to provide everyone with the online version for exams 2014-on.
