Way to put in a ton of effort so you can use your book in a way that takes up a ton of extra space and lacks a search feature

I get raped on shipping, really hard
and I can't find this book anywhere in my country.
>>53613704
just gave it to someone to do it for me, took like 4 days
>>53613757
I have trouble reading any large text on my computer, so I prefer physical books in case I want to read one

This is why I print my books at home.
>>53613747
> scanning a big book without removing the binding and damaging it
if you actually manage to do this you deserve a free book
>>53613835

>Using your own ink and paper
I hope you are at least taking the paper from work or school. If you're being this cheap you've gotta go all the way.
I've spent thousands of dollars in books and I don't baby them either. Feels good man. It also smells good.

He likes wasting his money on paper and ink
>>53613835
printing+binding+work costs taken into account, each ream of paper using this method would probably cost as much as a used textbook of comparable size
dunno how valuable your time is, but inkjet cartridges are literally more expensive than gold by weight
>>53613980
> using an inkjet printer instead of a laser printer
you sure you're in the right board?
>>53613747
>pirating a tangible book
Well fuck
>>53614096
Do you not know how laser printers work?
You do know what board you are on, right?
> he doesn't into the fact that paper has higher dpi than HD monitors
lel goodone, op
Once you're out of public school you may as well pirate your books since you can't get graffiti from previous generations anymore.

toner, same deal, still expensive
http://www.supermediastore.com/product/u/toner-canon-104-0263b001aa-compatible-black-cartridge
even buying off-brand would immediately add like $10 to any self-printed textbook. add to that a ream for $8 (probably cheaper in your area) and maybe 1-2 hours' work and you've potentially spent $100+ on shit.
used textbooks rarely exceed $50 and often come in hardcover, plus they have good resale value. you could probably do several hundred slim classics on a smaller budget, but those cost 25c each IRL.
journal articles (in which case you're making a course reader) are the most viable, but DLing and compiling the individual articles is worth more in time than even the $80 your uni charges
waste of time, money, and paper
holy shit op me too.
>he made 3 parts
>not 2
>>53611769
yeah this is 2016 everything should be digital I only read forums on digital screens and I never read books because books are stupid and they're heavy and you can't use zoom
>tfw school switched to ebooks
>access to ebooks lasts 2 years
>program is 4 years
I'm gonna write textbooks when I'm done
>>53613980
Then why is the book just as expensive when you purchase it online
