At least you OWN the text book and can reference it years later. That PDF scam was a real piss off

    That might work in other domains other than computer sciences.

    But from my experience, nobody cared about books and papers in computer science. Everyone is more comfortable with technology.

    You can easily Google or find things on the internet.

    The professor that taught my algorithms & data structures course said if we were going to keep one book it should be the one for that course. I followed that advice and it's the one textbook I still have. It's been 8 years since graduation and I haven't opened it once. I tend to just read Wikipedia if I need to understand a particular algorithm or data structure.
