If you're like us, you can't stand shopping for college textbooks at the bookstore. In fact, it's so bad that we actually don't like shopping on websites either. We prefer to shop on smaller and smaller computers in the palms of our hands, and we like to keep all of our favorite stores in our pants. The BIGWORDS Android App for Textbooks saves students about $225 on multi-item textbook orders. WE DON’T SELL ANYTHING. We find the cheapest textbooks for you by comparing prices at every good online textbook retailer.
...And at the end of the semester we help you sell your books back by comparing offers at loads and loads and did I say loads of buyback stores.
The BIGWORDS Uber-BOT uses Multi-Item Price Optimization™, which maximizes promotions and minimizes shipping, providing the lowest total cost for your entire textbook order.
TUAW.com says: "BIGWORDS.com and its little friend the BIGWORDS.com app are welcome additions to the quest of buying books... you will save money using this app... I really like the BIGWORDS.com app. It’s simple, straightforward and will save you money."
New York Times App of the Week, 8/18/09: "...a savings of more than 35 percent over buying online without its search engine."
Chicago Tribune 8/23/09 says: "...there are at least a half-dozen Web sites that sell used books in good condition... You can search each of these sites individually, or you can [use] bigwords.com, which offers one-stop shopping."
Mashable named our iPhone app (essentially the same as the Android app) #1, 8/25/09: Back to School: Top 10 iPhone Apps for Students
New textbooks, used textbooks, international textbooks, textbook rentals, guaranteed buybacks - They’re all considered and calculated automatically to save you the most money.
...And that’s not all. It’s not exactly a Snuggie, but it’ll give you the same warm fuzzy feeling when you realize how well you’re stickin’ it to the bookstore man. If we find books from sellers with low feedback scores, we’ll strip them out for you! Book looks like it’s been run over by a truck? Not a problem! We’ll ignore it. What’s that? You don’t care if it was run over by a truck in the rain and fell into a sewer? No problem! We’ll show you the very dirt-cheapest textbooks. Nobody, and I mean nobody, does textbooks like this. We slice ‘em, we dice ‘em, we find the cheapest copies of the right textbooks so YOU don’t have to spend your hard earned cash OR spend hours scouring the Internet for deals. This thing cleans up textbooks prices like a Sham Wow does grape juice.
Voted most important app by all of us who built it, we believe you will be as overjoyed as we were when it started working. In fact, we’re so sure you’ll be completely satisfied that we’re giving it away FREE! Not a limited time offer. This thing is free and it’s going to stay free, because we love and respect you, student kind.
