Many of the texts I use in class are classical philosphy texts which are available online. One semester, I had my syllabus posted online, and provided links to most of the texts I used. I gave the students the option of buying their books, using the library's copies, or printing selected passages from the links I provided. Lots and lots and lots of students complained that semester that I hadn't provided a particular edition of all the books used in my class. I was just trying to save them money, but they didn't want to put in the time each week to visit the link/library/whatever.
I still don't understand it.
