[blindlaw] Do Digital Law Books?

Same here. My school also provided a reimbursement between the new and used price to make up for the fact I had to buy new which is technically against the ADA without the reimbursement. At least that's what they've said. Definitely not the ADA expert but it sounds right to me.

One thing to watch out for is if a class isn't a normal law class, they may have independent books, books only available online, or just poorly done scans from articles and books. This has happened a number of times and has required me to drop a class or two and or wait a while for my reading materials. 

Best regards
