CourseSmart.com COURSESMART IS A SCAM!! Internet

I'm not with coursesmart.com.

My comment is this: you could be helping other consumers by actually MENTIONING WHAT OPERATING SYSTEM YOU ARE USING that is not compatible with coursesmart.

Thanks for your critique. It's USELESS for OTHERS.

I repeat: I'm not with coursesmart.com.

CourseSmart.com is not a scam. I just used the website to rent an electronic version of Applying Cultural Anthropology: An Introductory Reader, and it works flawlessly. I can access the book from any computer with internet access. I was not overcharged on my credit card for the purchase. I saved about $30 (about 50%) renting the book instead of buying it. 

You have to have Firefox browser.  But you can't ever access tour book because the server is always too busy.  I have only seen the first page of my book because it won't let me change pages.  I always get kicked off because the server is too busy.  Save your money and go somewhere else.

There was some hype about CourseMart on the iPad a while ago. I was very keen on the idea. But the app was awful and wouldn't adjust to the orientation I was holding the iPad in properly. It's been a while since I used it, I can't remember all my grievances with it, but it was indisputably flawed. Then I saw that my book store was selling CourseSmart activation codes alongside the physical texts. I contemplated with the staff whether I should try the nonrefundable service again. To save money, I tried it and was shocked in brand new ways about how bad it was. The receipt said I would be able to download the book, but actually it would only let me view it on a website, one page at a time.

Stay tuned for an announcement from Apple, they have been in discussions with textbook publishers and I have a feeling there will be good news for people that want educational ebooks.
