I didn't want to spend a lot of money on a small paperback that would be obsolete in two or even five years, so i bought the e-book for half the price. i love it! And since you can access it on three computers, you can split the cost with friends and bring your total down even lower. i would not recommend e-books for long textbooks, however, because you can only print a little bit from the book (30% of the total text), and you don't want to sit in front of your computer reading for hours.
