Pain in the Rear
I go to UoP where DRM's acrobat ebooks are a way of life. I have not seen a real textbook in over 2 years. These new ebooks are nothing but a pain... Adobe DRM does not always work correctly, if they must be downloaded, the downloads often fail (incomprehensible to tech support), and you can't take them along, especially if the print rights are removed. Get thee away evil ebooks.
