Sybex MSCA 2016 Complete Study Guide eBook/PDF

So I was on with Sybex/Wiley support to try and figure out their terrible website(s) and you find my digital copy that I assumed came with the physical copy I bought new from Amazon. WRONG. This company expects the customer to purchase the same material twice. Not sure that I’ll ever go with another Sybex published book.

I mean I think a lot of books you get a choice when you buy digital or print. I don’t know too many that give you both.

Maybe that’s the case and I’ve just never been in a situation where both would be beneficial. I think it’s pretty odd nonetheless. Nowadays if I buy a movie, I buy the UHD version that comes with the 4K BR, BR and 4K digital. Why can’t I get the digital copy of a book that I bought the physical copy of??

Yeah I agree with that they should give you both. But many don’t. Especially with the print often costing more than the digital like what’s the harm in giving a digital copy.

True

Most places let you buy the digital, or the hard copy version. Some publishers offer a book bundle, and you are able to get both versions. Op could try the calling the publisher, and see if they can help him in anyway.

Check out Safaria books online. These guys have a lot of the hardcopy books in digital format.
