After some searching (11-01-2014d1700), I think the cheapest way to get textbooks is to use one of the websites that searches across many other bookselling websites such as http://www.bookfinder4u.com/ or http://www.bigwords.com/. I think in a lot of cases it is actually cheaper to just buy the cheapest book than to try to use one of the textbook rental websites. Later I could just give the book away. There are even organizations that accept donated books like better world books (http://www.ala.org/united/about/donatebooks). However, of the textbook rental websites, the best ones are probably

Oyster books
-"Netflix for books"
-https://www.oysterbooks.com
-they didn't have any of the books I tested that I was most interested in reading

a couple of books I might be interested in (for a test search); 11-01-2014d1536
-Bioinformatics Genes Proteins and Computers
--ISBN-10: 1859960545
-The productive programmer
-Evolution and the Theory of Games
-The Manga Guide to the Universe

I'd like to check if any of the possible "world libraries" provide access to a couple of books I might be interested in.

 Can I use your service outside of the US?  I am from the US, but I am currently living in Spain for a few years.





Thanks for any help and information you have to offer me!
