How to Read Textbooks Online - Some
Quick Solutions For Students in a
Rush
If you're a typical college student like me, you are
probably a master at the art of procrastination. Last semester
I put off buying a certain economics textbook because I felt
that the professor would not be using it for several weeks. One
day in class the professor told us that we would be having a
quiz the following morning on the second chapter of the book
that I currently did not own. I rushed home after the bookstore
told me that they were sold out. I quickly began researching
ways to read textbooks online.
The first solution that I discovered can be somewhat pricey,
but what textbook is not pricey these days? If you need to read
textbooks online, your first place to look should be
Amazon.com. Most college textbooks listed on Amazon allow you
to buy access to the online version of the textbook. They will
still send you the physical book, but in this way you can read
the material online and be prepared for any tests, quizzes, or
research papers that immediately come your way.
I soon discovered another way to read textbooks online, and
it involves the all-powerful Google. Google has started
developing a massive database of academic books, articles and
journals. The name of this program is Google Scholar and it can
be located at scholar.Google.com. This can be a great way to
read textbooks online, but usually the entire textbook is not
available. In a pinch though, you can usually uncover enough
material to complete any of your required assignments.
Take a look at the resource box below to find out my other
methods that I use to read textbooks online, most of which are
free!
Throughout college I've discovered many different ways to
read textbooks online for free. I

some money!
