That's hardly fair to Hermione. It is one of the reasons she gives in 
her attempts to pull Harry away from the HBP's Potions recipes and 
hexes, true, but I don't believe it is her true motivation. She 
dislikes and is suspicious of the book for reasons including jealousy, 
I imagine, and also concern for Harry.

In CoS she is quite happy to wangle her way into the Restricted Section 
to read "Most Potente Potions", full of 'horrible' potions, in order to 
get the recipe for Polyjuice Potion recommended by Professor Snape in 
his class.

In OotP she is thoroughly disgusted with the book and teaching methods 
in DADA, both oh so Ministry approved, and organizes an illegal study 
group to learn DADA more effectively (from a student, in this case).
