Makes College Easier! DirectTextbook is a fantastic website that allows you to search for textbooks in one place and gives you results from many different (reputable) sources. You can buy, sell, rent, and search for ebooks on DirectTextbook. They also had a feature last semester that allowed you to save an ISBN with their site, and they would automatically run a search on it every day to find new buyer/seller listings. This was especially helpful for me, since I had some textbooks that, even though I bought them that semester, no one seemed to be buying back. DirectTextbook helped me locate a buyer. This site's format allows you to compare prices from different sources all in one place, so you can see with the click of a button how much money 30-something different sellers will charge for your book, and it will even compare features on the sellers' sites. For instance, it will tell you if they charge for shipping and what payment methods they accept. Honestly, it's made the end-of-semester buyback process so much easier for me, and helped me recoup more of my losses.

Good price comparison website for getting the least expensive textbooks and selling them back. I recently purchased textbooks through the directtextbook.com website. The website helped me find the cheapest textbooks, out of many available from around the Internet. Then when I was done with them, I used the site to find a company to buy it back at the highest price. It was easy to use and ensured I paid for, and sold, at the best price.

Poor customer service This site is run by some crook who does not have any sense of customer service. He does not have any phone number to contact him, and he does not take care of issues by email as well. I used to buy a lot of books through this site and accumulated some points which he refuses to let me cash. I sent him a lot of emails and even tried to contact him by phone. All in vain. He refuses to oblige.

Textbook shopping--all the prices on the web in one place together! I'm not sure I've actually bought anything straight from Direct Textbook, but I have used its search function to find my textbooks and compare the prices at various locations around the web--Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and so on. It's helped me find the best prices on books. I don't know much about renting books, since I usually buy to own (most of my books will be used in multiple courses in my program). However, it's almost always cheaper than the "used" price at the school bookstore.

Best way to find cheap textbooks! The direct textbook website is very easy to maneuver around. It shows the prices of all the competitive online stores in any easy to compare manner. I have used it countless times to purchase my textbooks, often saving over $100 than if I had bought them at my schools bookstore. It also saved me a lot of time from searching so many other websites separately for the best price. The MyDT option is a great way to save your textbook purchases so that at the end of the semester, getting buyback prices is easy and simple - no need to look up the ISBN's in the books again! The only thing that needs to be fixed with the site, is that for websites such as half.com/Amazon Marketplace, updated results of already sold used books should be sought after so that refunds are not needed.
