@loislane305 Indeed, just whatever license they have sold you. The details of which "you" (the consumer) have'nt read anyway most likely.

Have you ever loaned an old book to a friend? Not with eBooks, you aren't allowed to transfer the book you paid for to anyone. Essentially, you don't own it.

This is a very important video....You are buying books through online media and you never actually own the book, but you are paying the same price for the book. In addition, schools are using this method & getting kickbacks by paying a small fee for licensing and charging students the same price as they would a physical book. However, you cannot read these books on the platform you choose to read it on etc. In addition you are limited with how many times you can download the book.
