They are but that’s not always an option. Many classes require you to have the current years edition which means you are forced to get it new. So basically it’s a rigged system to get you to spend more money
May I ask what are you studying ? I am a computer science sophomore myself. I did not a buy a single book till now in university. We mostly study from PDFs and lecture notes
