Already have my books and started back to school but I checked these links out anyways. Turns out the prices I paid on bn.com with my membership discount were still cheaper than any of these.

Buy used books from half.com (the ones posted by people). I got a "$124" book for $6 in like-new condition. This was a while ago, but I assume you can still do it on the site...

I have a feeling that they still don't have digitalized versions of a lot of books because a lot of people would not go for it; three main reasons I can think of: 1) I'd rather read from a regular book than from a computer screen; 2) Although a lot of people have laptops now, a lot of people still do not; and 3) Many college students still do not order from online companies (sure, a lot of college students use computers, but many college students do not do more than just surfing Web sites, gaming, chatting, e-mailing, and such.Originally posted by: DaiShan

You bring the text to class? My profs just get up and lecture for an hour then expect you to go home and do the reading for the next class, only thing I bring to class is my laptop

Don't forget about....<BR><BR>http://half.ebay.com/browse/browse.cfm?tag=tb_books<BR><BR>Sometimes they have really good deals... It just amazes me to see IDIOTS, College kids with a stack of books and pay 5-600 bucks for them... When they could just buy them online and 3-400 bucks. I really think most of kids that do that iether A) are just rich or B) just got approved for a on campus visa card. Easy come Easy go!

well....selling them online is going to get you more money than the book store. But as the books are getting cheaper and cheaper...your not gonna make more on selling them online. Best bet would be to post fliers around campus and offer trades or just post a price.
