If you only need the buying answer: the 180-day digital option is the cheapest route, but the current paperback is still below the long-term digital option and dramatically below the sampled rental and used-print prices. That makes the current print listing surprisingly strong for anyone who wants a keepable copy rather than temporary access.

What this book actually teaches
Law Office Technology: A Theory-Based Approach is a practical legal-studies text about office systems, workflow, software use, process, and technology in law-office operations. The book matters because it connects tools to actual office practice rather than treating technology as a generic software-skills checklist.
That gives it more value than a one-term reading packet. Students and early legal-support professionals can return to office systems, process, and technology concepts later when the work becomes more concrete.
When print is still worth buying
The honest cheapest route is the short-term digital option. But the current paperback is close enough in price to stay attractive, especially because it is below the long-term digital route and massively below the sampled rental. For readers who want a physical reference to keep, the print case is stronger than it first appears.
I would lean toward digital for the narrowest short-term use. I would lean toward print for legal-studies readers who expect to revisit workflow and office-technology concepts later.
