Guess this is a @Task, @Steve, @Lobb, @Sgull, @College students toilet.


tl;dr. Where the fuck should I buy my textbooks, I usually use amazon and find the best deal. Any other suggestions?

amazon

amazon works p well

amazon saved me $300 this semester

how could u forget jp. asshole

chegg is a cheap rental option

alternately, go around the classrooms after finals and pick up all the textbooks that people leave there. sell them on amazon or use them if you need them.

Buy used books and check local bookstores.

Renting is also an option if you can't get used books.

I've saved hundreds on renting and used books.

torrents

true

pdfs of books are n1, if you dont have access get at me and I will look for you

half.com
ebay also sometimes

amazon is very reputable i always sell on there, but amazon isnt always the best deal for buying. but it is always better than a bookstore

alabris.com

i believe thats the site

scratch that, its www.alibris.com

i would get a headache looking at a computer screen every time i need to study

the school store, where you stand in line for hours on end to pay twice as much as you should on 7 books that you will be lucky to get 25% back from

ohh, its clearly 1997, nvm

shits still the same bro

i have the ebook of my french book, i didnt mind it at all.

how do i go about downloading textbooks

amazon and ebay

print it off, i had something like 1k pages per quarter to use that were free

I honestly would rather just buy the book and resell it on Amazon when done.

bill poop which books you need and I will check demonoid

if they are on there I can download and then throw on a flash and mail you the flash or use dropbox to grab it real quick

Bitme
ThePlace
TheVault

those 3 sites are the ones my college buds used...i gotta get some invites if you cant find em on demon or TD

just bought/rented my textbooks today.
