This is ridiculous. The printed version of this set of books (about 2000, color pages) is $27 cheaper than the all digital version. Seriously?

Even the American College of Physicians tries to rip people off.

It costs likely pennies to give online access to an extra user but printing and shipping another set of books is way more pricey.

(Darn, I want the online access)

You mean people are ripping the medical profession off by setting prices at what people are willing to pay? I'm shocked. -- nm - Roger More Mar 11, 05:33
The price is based on what the market will bear. You're paying a premium for the convenience. -- nm - Dano Mar 11, 04:51
how do you highlight stuff on a digital version? Or write notes? :) (I'd miss that) -- nm - Beaker Mar 11, 04:39
Is the digital version copy/print protected. I know we don't make our online version printable for that reason. If you sell the digital version it - Meg Mar 10, 22:37
apparently the printing and shipping is actually not so pricey. the majority of the work goes into layout, but yes there's no reason a print version - mafic Mar 10, 22:31
