Yeah... As a college student with student loans, rent, utilities, and $30 a week for food, there's not much more room in my budget for books. If I read a medicore free textbook and learn something, that's more than I learned from the $50 textbook that I couldn't buy.


Do you own a smartphone?


A $350 or less smartphone provides more value than three or four $100 textbooks any day.


Depends what do you use smartfone for. Most people use it for facebook and mindless browsing. You can do that less comfortably on cheaper phone.


What? Look at the price of Nexus devices for example. Those things are well powered enough to do anything your flagship can.


Does your university has library?
