I’ve ordered books all my books off of half.com and amazon and i’ve only had problems with one book. All the money I have saved was worth having a problem with one book.
There is nothing better than finding your 120 dollar calc book for 40 dollars online! Isn’t there a saying “the greater the risk the greater the reward” :-). anyways half.com is just like ebay, it’s owned by ebay, and obviously people use ebay like no other and there are ways to get your money back if your order never arrives.

I don’t know how well digital text books would work. obviously that requires everyone to have a computer, and at community colleges and such a lot of people i know can’t afford a laptop. If they had to do homework at school what would they do? That’s just like when they claimed all books were going to be moving to computer form but it hasn’t really happened so far. People like having physical books and not doing everything on the computer. I know i wouldn’t want to have to read my textbooks off of a computer screen!
