Textbooks.com under the Magnifying Glass
Textbooks.com is under our magnifying glass today. Let’s see what we have to know about this site. To start things off, Textbooks.com is a textbook store online with a user-friendly homepage. You can search for ISBNs, author names, titles and keywords right of the bat. Tabs are easily visible too namely Buy, Sell, or eText. Renting textbooks is not offered though.
Search results in this site are organized. You can type in the keywords under buy or sell and a detailed list of all the books offered will come up instantly. Of course some books are sold cheaper than others (most are second-hand books), but if you really want to buy a brand new one your choices are there. You can filter out your search easily through the side by clicking on either new, used, hardcover, edition, softcover or o course price.
Aside from searching, it’s very easy to sell your books back on the site as well. The Sell tab is already very visible once you get to the homepage all you have to do is go here and type in the ISBN of your book in the search box. Hit enter. This will automatically scan the site’s requests for books and if someone is looking to buy those books you’ll get a quote then and there. Whenever you sell a book back successfully, the site also gives you the chance to be part of a Macbook Pro raffle.
Buying is as easy as selling too. Textbooks.com has one of the most numbers of etextbooks available in the web today. You can have a reference in your computer but if you prefer physical textbooks you can buy textbooks easily from the site too. The etextbooks by the way are mostly in Adobe format and can be read by Adobe Digital Editions eBook Reader, VitalSource Bookshelf Reader, or the Adobe Reader 7.0.9.
Textbooks.com covered the major points a textbook store needs to have. All in all, Textbooks.com is a good site.
