iloveboxcars Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 There are no websites that specialize in textbooks. The websites that do have some textbooks almost certainly do not have the books you need for the class you are taking. With new editions released all the time the time spent scanning and uploading textbooks is hardly worth it, and so it is hardly ever done. Also, the amount of available books to the amount of pirates willing to go through the entire process(buying/scanning/uploading/seeding) ratio is probably around 1,000:1. Basically what I'm getting at is: That shit doesn't exist, and I would know if it did. You're going to have to buy them shits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BELTOLEUM Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Yea im not really looking forward to buying books. And taking the risk of stealing them isn't worth it. Since you get expelled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Realism Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Amazon.com Won't be completely free, but you'll save a whole lot of money. Textbooks are reprinted so often/there are so many of them it would probably be a bitch to find the right ones online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iloveboxcars Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 also, i used a website called chegg. you rent the text book, then send it back at the end of the semester. a lot cheaper than buying from anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CALIgula Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 you could try these: http://ebookee.com/ http://manybooks.net/ (i've found a couple of my old textbooks on here after i graduated) if all else fails, you can try half.com you can find them cheaper here.

iloveboxcars Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Also, the reason I gave the answer I did (so you know I'm not just full of shit) is because I am hard into the private torrent community, and every message board on these sites are littered with the same question you posed. Each time the person asking gets shot down, getting sent to libble or bibliotik. Both of those sites do not have a strong textbook library.

i'moffthywallz Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 I once found a 2010/2011 edition textbook in early 2011 on google books, trust and believe that shit got taken down quick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CILONE/SK Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Text books make alot more money then any other type of books. Since book stores are closing, the publishers are going to protect their products like they are their children. They will keep changing editions and moving content around to stop a digital version from getting online and being stolen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

japillahan Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 last year i got my lit books (not textbooks) at used book stores, and sold em back; helpin em out since they're a dying breed. as for textbooks, i try to co-ordinate my shedule with friends so we go halfway on used books, but this year the math department pulled some bullshit where you have to do your homework online on a site you pay for. fuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
