• Best place to sell MCAT books??

  eBay, you can also try bigwords.com which checks multiple buyback sites for the highest selling price. Source: 11 months ago

• Free Textbooks

  When I was in school, I used bigwords.com to buy any physical copy of a textbook I needed. It's a comparison shopper, and checks the difference between buying and renting at several stores. Source: over 1 year ago

• Don't Want to Move My Huge Box of Textbooks Again! What do I do with them?!

  Echoing that you'll probably get very little or no money from them, but my recommendation is to try bigwords.com. You can load all of your books into your cart, click 'sell' instead of buy, and they'll aggregate the best websites to buy them back (considering combined shipping, etc). Source: almost 2 years ago

• 13 year old here, is spending $10 on "thenlean startup" worth it?

  Amazon has a lot of good used book listings, there's also bigwords.com to find used books (since you mentioned you don't like reading books on screens ...which is also awesome!). Source: almost 2 years ago

I've gone back and forth with taking Open Libray's [0] catalog as that would at least flesh out our collection of books but then I'd have to deal with verifying authors to accounts so they can access their books.... - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• YSK: You can access many old and out of print hiking books from the Internet Archive's Open Library

  The Internet Archive runs what they call the Open Library, which is a unique concept on the traditional library. You can sign-up with minimal details and digitally check out many scanned books from libraries all over the world. The only caveat is that almost all of the books are older editions - ones that would be impossible to find locally. It's great if you're looking for old routes, a look back in time, details...

• Searching for a pharmacy book

  I want to clarify that I'm a non-US citizen, so accessing physical copies from US libraries or buying it from Amazon might not be feasible for me. To give you some context, my personal research was guided by the wiki section of r/FREEMEDIAHECKYEAH (https://www.reddit.com/r/FREEMEDIAHECKYEAH/wiki/reading/). I've conducted research using various online resources, including the Ebook & Open Source/Access Libraries... Source: 8 months ago
