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

Messaged!

I'm well aware of the racket. I recently returned to college after 15 years of working, and I knew back then how the racket worked. It's only gotten worse. The extra injury is that one of these texts is for an introductory course that goes into less detail than any decent youtube series. I understand most people won't be going into a course of study after a decade of personal interest in the subject, but even freshman students in a STEM subject shouldn't be this ignorant. Looking ahead at the syllabus and powerpoints, I learned all of this in middle school.
