Bigwords.com

It searches everything from half.com, bn.com, amazon.com, textbookx.com etc. new and used for the best deals. And now they include guaranteed buybacks and bookrentals from Chegg.com and at least one other place.

I <3 them and use them every year to order my books. I only wish the rental sites had been around when I was an undergrad and didn't want to keep my books.

Many of the texts I use in class are classical philosphy texts which are available online. One semester, I had my syllabus posted online, and provided links to most of the texts I used. I gave the students the option of buying their books, using the library's copies, or printing selected passages from the links I provided. Lots and lots and lots of students complained that semester that I hadn't provided a particular edition of all the books used in my class. I was just trying to save them money, but they didn't want to put in the time each week to visit the link/library/whatever.

I still don't understand it.
