So my idea is, for MS to create something like an eBook reader requiring LiveID verification (to verify the LiveID is attatched to DreamSpark) then giving access to the full Microsoft Press Library. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Or, heavy discounts on MS press books, just paying for materials and S&amp;amp;H.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It would be nice if students were given these tech books for free/ discount, as we now have the software but not much else...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have probably spen over $100 on Microsoft Press books this month, and now when I want to move on, I'm pretty much SOL because I can't keep shelling out this much $$ for books that aren't required for classes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks&lt;br /&gt;Cullen Dudas&lt;p&gt;in reply to &lt;a href='http://channel8.msdn.com/Forums/DreamSparkDiscussion/6105-Idea-to-extend-DreamSpark/'&gt;Idea to extend DreamSpark&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="http://channel8.msdn.com/6105/WebViewBug.aspx?EVT=0" height="1" width="1" alt="" /&gt;</description><comments>http://channel8.msdn.com/Forums/DreamSparkDiscussion/6105-Idea-to-extend-DreamSpark/</comments><link>http://channel8.msdn.com/Forums/DreamSparkDiscussion/6105-Idea-to-extend-DreamSpark/</link><pubDate>Sun, 18 May 2008 02:28:53 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="true">http://channel8.msdn.com/Forums/DreamSparkDiscussion/6105-Idea-to-extend-DreamSpark/</guid><evnet:views>277</evnet:views><evnet:viewtrackingurl>http://channel8.msdn.com/6105/WebViewBug.aspx?EVT=0</evnet:viewtrackingurl><evnet:previewtext>Hi all, I was recentlly having a conversation with a friend, the crux of which can be explained here:Cullen D says:Im getting tired of going to the book store every day, shelling out ~40, after 10 days, knowing all the info in a book, finding something else I want to learn, repeat process..Mostly I&amp;#8230;</evnet:previewtext><dc:creator>CullenD</dc:creator><slash:comments>8</slash:comments><wfw:commentRss>http://channel8.msdn.com/Forums/DreamSparkDiscussion/6105-Idea-to-extend-DreamSpark/RSS/</wfw:commentRss><trackback:ping>http://channel8.msdn.com/6105/Trackback.aspx</trackback:ping></item></channel></rss>
