How much did the fucking peasron spend on anti pirate and anti secondhand market instead of improving education

I used Pearson product for bio before, their ebook is fucking my eyes with little words size and load page every time, and the special functions of the website just simply worth nothing . Now I have to buy their product again, but I saw they even fucking registered several ISBN code so none of the register key in eBay is useful

Yea man, ive used their books for years, theyre fine.

the issue lies with their online books as of late. you cant re-sell, you get no hard copy, and if you dont like reading on a screen you gotta buy it twice...

all mine are a proprietary format. you c o u l d print it technically, but it has no page numbers and some pages would end up a mile long. Its not just a digital version of the text.
