How to Help Students Save Money on College Textbooks？

The global economy is gloomy. And education costs continue to rise, leading many students to employ various strategies, such as loans, photocopies, and decrypt textbooks for good, to afford the necessary resources. According to a Danish survey, approximately half of the students who utilize digital textbooks confess to having used pirated copies at least once.

Despite lawsuits discouraging piracy, students continue to source free pirated books from various channels. As TorrentFreak reported, textbook piracy is a prevalent phenomenon worldwide. 

On the one hand, the cost of a textbook is very expensive. On the other hand, student loan is also a huge burden for many college students. Therefore, we think it is reasonable to back up your purchased textbooks or download a free copy from the Internet for personal use. That’s why Z-Library is so popular among college students, which provides access to a vast collection of free and downloadable resources, including e-books, articles, and other digital materials. 

There are two famous textbook online distributors: Kortext and VitalSource. Kortext.com is very popular in European countries. While the VitalSource platform occupies the eTextbooks market mainly in the US. 

People are not born equal. We think it is a good idea to decrypt your legally-purchased textbooks and share them with classmates in need, especially those who have financial problems like most college students who have to pay large sums of loans after graduation. 

Thanks to the Internet, there are many powerful tools that are designed to back up Kortext and VitalSource books for personal use.

If you need to remove DRM protection from Kortext books, you can follow this step-by-step guide to back them up to your computer for safekeeping. 

You can also use another tool to decrypt your VitalSource books for personal use.

Then all the Kindle books will be downloaded in .azw3 format.

BTW, Amazon removed the Download via USB option from Kindle Unlimited books. And Kindle Unlimited books are not supported by DRM Removal tools.

Step 3. Plug in Your Kindle Device

Since Kindle Fire Tablets can be used to remove the new Kindle DRM, Epubor Ultimate adds this new feature to support Kindle Fire tablets, too. It is really cool that Epubor Ultimate can auto-detect the serial number of your device just by plugging it into your computer.
