The next time you buy an ebook
The internet is stuffed with ebooks. But before you really do buy them, take a close look at what they're offering. Most of the time, they do offer a feature-list or table of contents like thing. Search for each element on the internet. Many times, you're bound to stumble upon a free resource teaching the same. I am not saying that all ebooks are just compilations of freebies, but many of them are. Only a few ebooks really expose what the writer has learnt from his experience.

Hey, great post!
All too often people are hustled into buying something that isn't what is advertised, and since you can't physically flip through an eBook, it can often be a bit like rolling the dice.
My advice would be to buy your eBooks from a reputable site. The website where I buy all of my educational supplies for my class (http://www.dedicatedteacher.com) gives you a free sample of the first bit of the book, so you get a better idea of what you're buying. The site also has a customer service department, which would be a good thing to look for before buying an eBook from any site. All things to keep in mind in order to make a good purchase!
