<p>What the title asks... do they force you? What if I can get e-books pdfs on my laptop/e-book.</p>
<p>at my school i know kids who didnt even bother with textbooks and passed with good grades.</p>
<p>Most people buy textbooks to study with .</p>
<p>No, you don’t have to. You can get ebooks and rent textbooks. I perfer to buy my textbooks.</p>
<p>Some classes have required textbooks, but you don’t have to buy them. You can get them at the library and photocopy pages, or just do the reading there if you don’t rent.</p>
<p>Thanks a lot, I guess I’ll just buy them for Calculus and other sciences, but for history, etc. I’ll get the e-book version.</p>
