I agree that the textbook industry is quite a racket. And I agree that going online to find your books is the way to go. BUT, I don't agree that you have to spend a bunch of time on google searching every permutation of possible book options. There's a website that does this for you - http://www.bigwords.com They are a search engine for textbooks that actually search all the retailers and rental sites you mentioned here and many, many more to find you the cheapest prices for your books. Also it does this on a search for multiple books at once giving you the best possible combination of places to get all the books you need for the lowest overall cost - including available promotions, coupons and shipping. It's actually pretty cool. You should give it a try when it comes time to get your son more books.
