Default OT Document download services - scam?

I am interested in downloading a text book instead of buying it.
Having been unemployed for 7 of the past 12 months and just back to
work, money is tight and buying the book will set me back $97+$4
shipping (for a used text book). THere are several download sites
that list it. These sites charge a fee - appears to be a monthly fee
- I just need a one time download (atleast until next semester).
Names of some of the sites a Downloadcave.com, Downtr.com,
Rapidog.com, Prime-download.com. Is this kind of like joining a book
or "record" (CD) club where once joined it is difficult to unjoin
without cancelling a credit card? Advice/experiences solicited. TIA
