ANNAPOLIS, MD -- 08/12/09 --
BIGWORDS.com, the leading college textbook
price comparison website, today announced the availability of BIGWORDS the
iPhone App for Textbooks, a new service for "on the go" students that finds
the cheapest textbooks on the Internet according to the specific
requirements of each student. Just in time for the Fall semester, the
BIGWORDS iPhone App saves students $225 on average multi-item textbook
orders. BIGWORDS iPhone App for Textbooks can be downloaded for free at

order, finding books 50% cheaper than bookstores and 20%-60% cheaper than
other online retailers on average.

bringing the full range of comparison shopping options to iPhone users.

BIGWORDS App to find the best prices as soon as they have a syllabus
in-hand. Key features of the new BIGWORDS iPhone App include:

minimizing shipping
