This garbage company seems only set on making as much money as possible from college students, which isn't something too crazy to think on. Textbooks in general are massively inflated in prices anyways. For reference, I am INDEED a college student currently getting two degrees.

But here's the main issues:
1. These morons couldn't even manage to create an actually useful manner to browse 'online' textbooks with their trash proprietary viewer. The search function takes forever to actually search, and can't even combine words to search for phrases, so enjoy getting 50 mentions of a common word in your phrase like 'the'.

2. They only allow copy-pasting up to a certain percentage of the book, which isn't necessarily an issue but is stupid since you HAVE to copy/paste in their own proprietary(stupid) way. I myself found a way around this garbage, so search for yourself how to circumvent this if you're forced to use this trash.

3. You CAN'T ACCESS THIS $#*! OFFLINE. (At least, in a way that isn't needlessly restrictive.)

These people behind this company are easily one of the main reasons why people move to pirate textbooks, beyond physical textbook prices. Search for your.pdfs before you decide to give these scam-artists your money, please. They certainly don't deserve profits for such lazy implementation, one couldn't imagine it's too difficult to copy-paste a textbook.pdf from the publisher(LMAO).

Tip for consumers:
If the company would like to discuss just how $#*! they are, feel free to forward my information to them.
