Look, I got an ebook for free from a publishing company (that wants me to adopt it for my course). Of course, you can't just download it: you have to sign up to their own website, where there is a dreadful reader.
What I mean by dreadful is: the PDF page does not feel my screen, therefore I have to scroll down. This is fine. Except that scrolling down does not show me the next pages, so reading is: scroll down, then click on "next page", then scroll down, then click on "next page", etc. etc.. Each page takes about 2 seconds to load.
In order to understand whether I'm interested in an academic book, I have to flick through it.
I got tired even before going through the front matter.
So for what concerns me, this ebook is already "worn out".
