For the financially and technically inclined students at Arizone State, CafeScribe provides the latest and greatest technology for using etextbooks. Created by the Follett Higher Education Group, the same group that is behind the very popular eFollett ecommerce website for bookstores, CafeScribe costs up to 40-60% less than the cost of physical textbooks and can be downloaded straight to your home or personal computer. ASU students can now share notes with their classmates and discuss reading materials online with their professors and peers.
The Sun Devils Campus Store is helping many ASU students say goodbye to heavy, cumbersome textbooks by providing them with affordable, digital options. The digital options available to students will rapidly grow over the coming years. As more textbook-related technology companies begin competing to provide digital learning options, such as new platforms for collaborative online textbooks and online classes, students should hopefully benefit from this competition through lower overall learning costs.
For those who travel off campus frequently and are interested in alternative locations to build their textbook library, there is the:
Changing Hands Bookstore
6428 S McClintock Dr
Tempe, AZ 85283
Officially opening its doors on April Fool’s Day, 1974, Changing Hands was built on the idea of bringing educational and varietal reading materials to the local community. To this day, they still offer a continuously shifting mix of new, used, and sale books of all kind. Unlike some bookstores which offer only a fraction of retail price, Changing Hands offers 50% of the total resale value for quality texts. If you find yourself among many millions turning towards e-books these days, Changing Hands can be there too. Find access to their Google e-book library on any smartphone or tablet product, and most e-readers including Nook Color, Kindle Fire, Sony Reader, and many more. The app is free for Android and iOS, setting up a Google eBooks account is free, and the e-books are priced the same as Amazon.com and Barnes and Noble.
