Buy College Textbooks Online for Big Savings

buy college textbooks online

Buy college textbooks online and you can save hundreds of dollars each semester.

And, sell text books back to an online college book store for more cash than you'll get from your campus bookstore.

Buying discount textbooks used to be possible, but not practical.

Colleges did everything they could to force their students to buy their books from the campus bookstore.

However, The Reauthorization of the Higher Education Act (enacted August 14, 2008) directed:

college textbook publishers to provide pricing information to faculty to help them to decide which books to purchase

college bookstores to provide textbook information to students early so that they are aware of the textbook costs for different courses

publishers to provide pricing information on "unbundled" versions of every "bundled" textbook they sell

So, if you know the courses you are going to take, you can compare prices and availability, buy college textbooks online and save a bundle.

These are some of the best sources online for discount textbooks [COMPENSATED AFFILIATE LINKS]:

www.ecampus.com- Probably the biggest college textbook retailer, they offer free shipping on orders over $59, a nice search feature where you can check for books by title, author, ISBN, or keyword, and a textbook buyback program.

textbooksrus- This retailer offers very competitive prices, a search box or browse by category option, fast delivery and free shipping of between 2 and 10 books.

Bookbyte.com- Bookbyte promises same-day shipping and offers a 14 day return policy with no questions asked. They buy back textbooks and have an in-house 24/7 customer service department.

BetterWorld.com- BetterWorld offers free shipping in the U.S. because all of their books are physically in stock in their warehouse. Part of every purchase goes towards funding literacy and environmental programs.

At the end of the semester, check the ISBN's to compare the amounts you can get when you sell used college books back to these businesses. Most of the time, its more than your campus bookstore will pay.

If you're wondering where to sell used books to get the most cash back, try [COMPENSATED AFFILIATE LINK] textbooksrus. Their prices are especially good on those big, 40 lb., classic texts that are used year after year.

Another cost saving (and time-saving) alternative to the campus bookstore or library is to use online libraries. The largest collection of online library books is at [COMPENSATED AFFILIATE LINK]:

Questia Online Library- Over 70,000 copyrighted books and 2 million newspaper and journal articles are available with your subscription.

If you want to save even more money, rather than buy college textbooks online, rent them instead. This is a fairly new option.

The number one company for textbook rentals is Chegg. They have [COMPENSATED AFFILIATE LINK] over 2 million textbook titles to rent from and you can save 65-85% over what it would cost to buy them.

And now there is an even better way to download really cheap college textbooks online.

Maybe you can't do much about college tuition prices, but you can reduce the amount that you will need for books...if you buy college textbooks online. This will let you either, take out a smaller loan or put the extra money towards paying the interest accruing on your deferred loan.
