I was curious as to where most of you college students buy your text books.
Do you buy from the college book store? Or do you get the isbn and order online to save $$? Or have some other method? We normally go with the isbn and order on Amazon for my son.

Amazon for me as well. Way WAY cheaper then the collage bookstore. Plus, I've had classes where we barely cracked opened the text book during the semester. At least this way I know I didn't pay full price for nothing.

Amazon is 10-40 dollars cheaper. But some of the classes require multiple books and the bookstore will do up packages for a little cheaper. And there is the issue of texts that amazon doesn't have.
