Buying e-books rather than the physical textbook??? (2 Viewers)

[miaoww]

Hi!

So throughout the HSC I used the ebook of my textbooks because I hate lugging heavy shit around and prefer to just search for words I need rather than reading pages of information. The e-books are a lot cheaper (like $40-$90) than the physical textbooks, but I'm wondering if there are any drawbacks to not buying the physical copy? I'm doing a commerce degree.

Thanks in advance

Not really, unless you have units which you are only allowed to bring your textbook in as part of the open book exam.

I don't do commerce, but for Med, most of the books are available in the main library or online!
