Online sales for USA college textbooks are increasing

A major competitor for college student textbook dollars is online sales.

The National Association of College Stores reports that 23% of all textbooks were bought online, an increase from 16 percent in 2003.


Twenty-four percent of students said they had bought textbooks or other course materials online.


The National Association of College Stores says that the trend has been to purchase more course materials online and that most college book stores now offer online sales.


The National Association of College Stores reports that students spend about $6 billion a year nationally on college and university textbooks.


Online sales in all fields continue to increase and our USA Business Directory, which has over 10 million business listed, is a way of securing online sales without cost, since the prospects are provided to the businesses listed with no cost involved.

Its seriously the only way I shop for my textbooks these days! and I've found that BIGWORDS.com is the best source for the online shopping of textbooks. The reason 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. Pretty neat!
