I have found <a href="http://www.campusbooks.com/" rel="nofollow">CampusBooks.com</a> to be the best one as it compares prices on new an used books in addition to book rental and e-book sites. When the semester is over, sell your books back for the highest price by using <a href="http://bookscouter.com/" rel="nofollow">BookScouter.com</a> to compare buyback prices and make sure you sell it back to a company for the highestpossible price. In most cases, if you find a great deal on a used book, keep it in good condition, and then sell it back for the highest amount, you can spend under $50 a semester for books.

I've been using it for a while now and have found it to be the best possible source for online textbook buying for sure!! The reason I think they're the best is that they compare many items at once, and calculate the best combination of stores to buy at, including coupons and shipping. They also let you include or exclude international editions, and they let you choose the ship time and then calculate the lowest price using the right shipping type at every store. It's awesome check it out for your self! Ever heard of a site called Bigwords.com??
