DETAILS ABOUT THE REQUIRED TEXT
Get one or the other of the two texts listed above. If you want to get both,
that's OK, but you are only required to get one or the other. The campus bookstore
should have copies of the Silberschatz paperback 10e, and should also have a version
of the Silberschatz E-Book 10e that "runs through the YUZU platform."
If you buy the E-Book, feel free to get a version that runs on whatever
platform you want. For example, Amazon sells a Kindle version,
there's a Google Play version, and the version sold by the publisher, Wiley, on the
wiley.com website (see the link to the E-book above) runs on a group
of free apps called VitalSource Bookshelf.
There are VitalSource Bookshelf apps for most PC and mobile-device operating systems.
Finally, be careful to take note of this fact: It is the 10th edition
that is the required text now. If you use a different edition, I can't guarantee
that you won't have problems with things missing from your text, or incorrect.
