So I want to not spend ludicrous amounts of money this semester, and try and get as many books online as I can.

Does anyone have suggestions for good sites for this? Used is cool.

    Amazon's marketplace or Half.com. The prices are almost always very close when shipping is factored in.

    Amazon is usually pretty good. DeepDiscount isn't bad so far, in my experience, although it's kind of hit or miss that you'll actually find what you need there. Buy.com seems to mostly be resellers now, but you might find something there that you're having trouble finding elsewhere, but they don't have very good service, so be warned.

    Well holy shit. Buy.com saved me like $300. I am happy.

    Better World Books usually has really good prices on used textbooks, and most of their profits go to support literacy programs around the world.
