But college textbooks are absurdly expensive. Can anyone point me to some options for digital textbooks that don't have stupid drm?

Yes, I'm a student, studying in a rigorous environmental field. I'm being as vague as I can be! There's a few reference copies available of my physics text, but none to take home. I want a copy for homework problems. I can scan the pages with those problems, at least... I live an hour drive from campus, though, so I would like to not be out of luck if I miss a problem or two.

I was able to find one textbook thanks to suggestions here, so thank you for saving me $250 (more like not giving the exploitative textbook industry a quarter grand)!

Glad to be of some help :)

$250! Robbing bastards!

I don't want to distract you from your studies but… have you read any John Bellamy Foster? You might enjoy his work.
