    The most expensive book I bought last semester was for my Psychology 101 class, and the damn book wasn't even bound. Just a bunch of loose pages packaged in plastic, and God forbid if the pages were ever dropped, cause that book was heavy. All I really needed from it was the login stuff to use it's online version. Why I love the search function...

    I'm hopnig to do medicine at Uni and during the third year you get a free iPad to use for study use... but the textbooks you buy over the 5 years end up being £100 and something each and there are a lot ;-; Apparently the body is very complex. I wish we could buy the iPad ourselves and get free textbooks.
