Never a good idea to buy books before classes begin

First off, let me start by saying, this is not the end of the world, or even a large catastrophe.  Just a little speed bump.  


I took Calculus I at Community College this Summer, and am taking Calculus II this fall.  When I looked online, I noticed the book listed for my class this fall was different from the summer class book, so I made arrangements to get the books and return the rented book by the deadline.  I get to class the first day and realize, I'm really supposed to have the same book I used in the summer, the website was wrong, and that the book will get us through all three semesters of Calculus.  JOY.  So after a mild panic, I decided to do the smartest thing.  We had to order the homework off a website, and the eBook was an option to go along with.  I evaluated the cost of getting the book again, and having it for a year, versus just buying it from the website I will be using for my homework.  It was VERY much cheaper to get it eVersion, and now I just get to do that math to make sure I'm straight with my parents, who paid for books.  Luckily, Math's kind of my thing :)


It's a new thing, eBooks, and it's very interesting.  I never thought, as technology minded as I am, that I would like an eBook, but as they are so much lighter and portable, I have to say, I'm converted!   :)


Happy studying!
