I dropped out of engineering and accidentally found one of the biggest scams students accept as normal.

Every year:

Students buy expensive books.

Use them for one semester.

Never touch them again.

The next batch buys the same books.

The cycle repeats.

Nobody questions it.

Nobody fixes it.

Everyone just accepts it.

I couldn't.

So instead of complaining, I started building an alternative.

Am I missing something, or is this one of the dumbest systems we've normalized in education?
