New college textbooksSource
Unless a student absolutely needs brand-new textbooks, they can use several alternatives to save.
Shop for used textbooks, which can help you save 70% to 90% off the retail price, says Mike Gatti, the executive director at the Retail Advertising and Marketing Association, a trade group. Check out web sites like CheapestTextbooks.com, Booksprice.com or Amazon.com. Many college bookstores also sell used texts.
Another option is downloading books online. Sites like Coursesmart.com sell subscriptions to digital copies of more than 7,000 textbooks. TextbookMedia.com allows students to download textbooks for free. You can also rent textbooks on Chegg.com.
This should be helpful (free downloads for textbooks) especially before the semester starts, even though I've just found that some people have textbooks on DC++, too!
PS - I am a supporter of CDs and I would not stop buying them!
