Abysmal Website, Unable to Access Purchased Titles - AVOID

I actually own some of the paperback Packt books, and - sometimes - they have good and useful content. However, the editing quality is very poor, there are frequent typos and errors with code examples and they rarely seem to update.However, with their sometimes "too good to be true" sales, and the current Humble Data Engineering Bundle, I realised now that buying their ebooks and video courses is a miserable and uancceptable experience. As other reviews have mentioned, the website is abysmal: trying to get the page to load to actually access the titles you have purchased is frequently impossible. Download these as soon as as you've bought them - if you can! Is this a scam, so as to force customers to take a subscription? Quite possibly.Again, as other reviewers have mentioned, there are frequent drops and download issues, so actually accessing any of the videos is difficult. Their current Humble Bundle seemingly represents excellent value, but I now wish I'd never bought it, due to the terrible experience of trying to use Packt's website.Summary: awful website, awful company, awful service - occasionally some useful content in their material but absurdly difficult to try and access your purchases. Recommend avoiding like the plague.
