According to a report by the College Board in New
York City, students can spend an estimated amount of $1000 each year in buying
textbooks. This unnecessary expense can be avoided through purchasing of cheap
textbooks from online stores without compromising the quality. There are many
sellers worldwide who prefer to market their books online and some even offer
shipping services to the required destinations. These online stores include;
- Amazon.com
When you log in to www.amazon.com,
you will find many products being advertised there. You need to select the type
of product, which in our case will be “textbooks”, and enter the details of the
book in the search engine. After searching, you will be provided will a list of
the available textbooks under the selected title from where you can purchase
any of your choice. Each book will have its price quoted below it, and any
other necessary information provided by its sellers. If you have an e-reader, it
is advisable to buy E-textbooks since they are even cheaper than the physical
used ones.
- Half.com
This is another website which sells cheap textbooks.
They offer good quality services and have a sellback program. This program allows
students to sell their textbooks back after using but at a relatively lower
price. They also provide an option for renting textbooks to those who are
interested in reading for only a short period of time. For more information,
log in to www.half.com.
- AbeBooks
This is a Canadian online store which offers 50% to
90% discounts on their textbooks. Many
books in this site are sold by dealers unlike other websites where books are
sold by individuals. They offer free shipping of the products.
- Barnes and Noble
They sell many books which are categorized in
sections of new books, used books, rental books, and e-books. They offer 90%
discounts on the used books and 40% discount for the nook study e-book rentals.
However, the nook study digital books are only compatible with iPad, PC and Mac
hence making those with e-readers unable to access them. For more information,
log in to www.barnesandnoble.com.
Purchasing books online will give you the
opportunity to compare offers from different sellers hence choosing the best[1].
There is also the advantage of selling them back after use hence recovering
some of the money you spent during purchasing.
Now make a decision to purchase textbooks online and
save some dollars.
