If you have been in this predicament like most college students, what would you do? One obvious alternative is to turn to Amazon - the largest virtual bookstore in the World Wide Web. Most college textbooks listed on Amazon allow one to buy access to the online version of the textbook. While this may seem like a quick choice, it nevertheless requires students to fork out some cash to buy it.
Another alternative to reading textbooks online is to turn to Google. The name of the program is called Google Scholar, which stores a wide array of scholarly materials ranging from books, journals to articles. This useful program may be located at scholar.google.com. While this may be a good place to read textbooks online, it should be noted that the entire textbook content is usually not available. Albeit available in a pinch, this program does offer some useful resources for students to prepare for their quizzes or even complete their assignments.
