I swear, if I get any more emails with AI-generated "I hope you’re doing well." openings I will delete them without reading. If you can't be bothered to write yourself, I can't be bothered to read it. #Rant

Uh ... Routledge / Vitalsource, you're obviously operating from a strange usage of the word "perpetual" that I wasn't previously aware of.

How Long Will My eBook Be Available?

Routledge.com provides eBooks via VitalSource, which offers lifetime access to your eBook. Beginning June 15th, 2021, books with a perpetual eBook license will have five years of online access. During this time, you will have unlimited access to your book through Bookshelf online. However, this may change after the online perpetual license has expired. Any direct downloads you’ve made throughout that time to your device via the Bookshelf app will still be available, even after the online perpetual license has expired. More information on lifetime access.

This image features a photograph of a young, blonde boy sitting at a desk in what appears to be a classroom setting.

The boy, wearing a dark navy blue zip-up jacket, is leaning over his desk, focused attentively as he writes on a piece of paper using a wooden pencil.

The background shows a soft-focus classroom environment with another child sitting at a desk in the distance.

Prominently overlaid across the bottom portion of the photo is bold text in a light yellow/orange font that reads: "Sweden is officially reversing its use of digital technologies in education and returning to handwriting and books"
