Is it scummy and scammy? I don't see anything wrong with someone selling their notes on a subject, no matter the price. The purchaser can choose if it's worth it to them or if it's not.
I don't see the scummy or the scammy part here. Am I missing something?
To me it implicitly means: “I am selling you my distilled copy of the book at nearly the price of the book. That lets me recoup my investment, and after a few days I will take it offline, so I don’t get a law suit from O’Reilley for copyright infringement.”
