do caia give you ebooks when you register for an exam?

[original post removed]

They don’t, you have to buy either the official text and/or some other type of study materials.

Here’s some more detail:

$125 for hardcopy, $81.99 for e-book. Also note that they came out with a new book for the next exam. Don’t use an old e-book (if even possible) or buy a used copy of the 2nd ed. by mistake.
