really like them as they contain only what we plan to use and they free us
from copyright worries. They have been reasonably priced and significantly
cheaper than buying several books only to use parts of those books. We
have only used their print coursepacks to date and have sold them in our
bookstore. We think we are going to use the online store as an option next
year. They do offer a full digital or a print +20% digital format. We are
constantly exploring options/alternatives for traditional texts to put on
the student tablets. As we get more creative with our course offerings,
this alternative becomes even more appealing.
