Even better, download a PDF on Libgen, print it out on the school library printer or pool your money for a laser printer, and bring it down to a local coffee center for a cheap plastic binder.

Even even better, don't print it and just read it on screen or get a supernote and put all of your books on there where you can mark them up and have them all with you all of the time.

eBooks just don't hit the same as their dead tree counterparts. Unless you can live-type LaTeX annotations, I need the paper for highlighting and scribbles.

You can highlight and scribble with a supernote

I can also sit on the beach in VR, but I'd still rather go in person.

We're going to the beach? I thought we were talking about reading books.

I still prefer reading on dead tree material.
