TextbookRevolt can help you save money on textbooks

I recently read an article on CNET about TextbookRevolt and just had to mention it here. As most students are painfully aware, purchasing textbooks each semester can be a real strain on your checkbook. TextbookRevolt attempts to alleviate the pain of buying books by allowing registered users to swap textbooks with each other. Simply create an account, add the books that you’d like to give away, then browse the list of available free books for titles you need. The idea behind the site sounds promising, although I haven’t tried swapping books with anyone yet.

Have you used TextbookRevolt or another similar service to avoid costly trips to the bookstore? If so, share experience with other users by leaving a comment below!
