How much was your book set?

I don't know how other colleges do it, but at mine your books for the entire program come in a packaged set. You can buy them one at a time, but undoubtedly you will spend more money (purchasing from the school). I digress... The book sets up until this coming semester were a straight $1000. That's a lot of money, sure, but it covers the entire program. Well this term they shot up to $1600! They offer the new and 'highly recommended' eBook option for $950 which 'makes the set cheaper than before'. If you knew me you'd have no question that I am all about technology, innovation, and forward-thinking, but I absolutely do not want eBooks for school! I can't believe how much they are charging for the physical books now.

Rant aside, how much was your book set?

Also? You might change your mind on the ebooks. Depending on the publisher and what app you use to access the ebooks, they come with a lot of tools and additional functionality (built in flashcards, note sharing with classmates, video demonstrations, THE ABILITY TO SEARCH BY KEYWORD) that you might find highly useful. Additionally, nothing beats not having to lug huge books around. I personally love them and have been using ebooks for several years.
