A number of us are having increasing concerns about VitalSource as a platform for eBooks. I would like to ask that we please do not recommend or buy any more eBooks from VitalSource until we get some satisfactory responses from VitalSource and the publishers who are insisting on using this platform.  Our concerns include usability, their DRM and more recently privacy of student data they are collecting when students create an account with them.  Hope to get some clearer responses soon but I am seriously thinking we should blacklist this provider and manage out the handful of titles we have purchased with them.  We will be passing on our concerns to the publishers who are using them as well.
