Experience with e-textbooks- chemistry

Published

My chemistry course is too old :cry:, and I'm retaking a 4 week inter-session course 12/22- 1/14 online. I hate to buy a $125 book for 4 weeks. I found a site that will sell and e-book and the publisher's website pass key for $84.00. Has anyone had experience with an electronic text book good or bad? By the way, I need Introductory Chemistry: A Foundation, sixth edition, by Zumdahl and Decoste 2008 if anyone has one to get rid of.

My math and a&p books were available with a e-book version as a bonus. It think it added about 15 dollars to each. I love having a book butthe e-book is a very useful reference. Especially when you can just search the book for a phrase or whatnot.

I wouldn't replace a real one with an e-book though.

I'm currently doing a psychology course online. I got an e-book instead of an actual book. This has worked out great for me as I am in front of a computer most of the day anyway. Plus you can use the search/find feature to find sections pertaining to a certain word or phrase very quickly as opposed to thumbing through a book. That is a feature I really love.
