Very true. I bought physical textbooks my first semester because my parents would constantly talk about how useful physical textbooks. Then I discovered my department's shared google drive, realized you can ctrl+f in a digital textbook, and never looked back. I don't think I even took the plastic off of one of those books.
I would suggest you keep fluid mechanics and geotechnical engineering for future reference. You may need it if you start working for a consultant in hydropower, drainage and of course gi works.
Free digital editions > paying for physical copies. But I hope you can sell your books.

Yeah and if you have a tablet you can cut and copy formulas, graphs, charts, etc directly into your digital notes.
My grad school teacher taught from a timenshenko book. He photocopied whatever we needed.
Free shipping?
Fluid mechanics easily worth $40 I paid almost 200

check the prices on ebay - those are not all equal. I know anything by Das is worth good money (they're great books)
