Website for textbooks

**kastaro1** · 07-10-12 at 06:47 AM

Hey. I'm, looking to download some textbooks for a few upcoming classes that I am taking and I am wondering if anyone has any recommended sites to start browsing at. These can either be torrent sites or direct download sites. If anyone has any suggestions, please share. Thanks.

Not the best but I have had luck using ebookee for some of my classes. Some people also sell the solution manuals as well.

Code: Select All

in my experience ebookee makes you register and pay a monthly fee or something. I don't like that without knowing if it really is any good.

Just use google and add the words: "ebook, ebook download, pdf, and etc" it will lead you to other websites, blogs, and forums that may have the textbook in the ebook form.

You might run into these:

1) The ebook version isn't fully ripped so it may be missing random pages or some pages aren't viewable.

2) You might get an international version so the contents in the book will be different than the North America version or the version you're looking for.

3) You might get one that someone scanned the entire book (I have came across some) so the book isn't searchable and can't highlight text to copy and paste for easy notes.

You can pretty much find the ebook of the textbook as long as the text book has an electronic version. You can find scanned version as I mentioned above. If you can find it at all just go buy the cheapest used copy on Ebay or Amazon. Don't pay for those ebook websites because they are a scam.

I saved about $600 on textbook last semester because I found most of my textbook on the internet except for two novels ($40) and another text book.

Only some titles. I've downloaded quite a few and have never registered, or had to pay.
