Where to buy technology books

There are a few ways of getting books for free or cheaply, if you know where to look and how to get the best bargains. In this article, have a look at a few of the options and explore how to get the best bargains.

Play.com

Play offers a wide selection of items with free delivery on all items. They have a wide selection of medicine books and the latest books on science and technical guides. The benefit of Play is that it carries both the guides designed for students as well as the guides that can be understood by everyone. Play offers used books sold by account holders as well as brand new ones. The benefit of buying used books means that you might find notes from the old users written in them, quite useful if a student happens to buy the books.

Amazon

Amazon offers programming and technical books as well, but they do charge postage if the orders do not reach a certain total price. It also offers electronic books as downloads - the technical e-books can be downloaded on Kindles or any other E-Readers, which are easier to transport than a large book, or even a collection of book. An E-Reader can be very useful if a workman needs to check on diagrams or work notes whilst they are on a job. Amazon also provides the E-Readers and Kindles at good prices, so users can buy the reader and the books at the same time. The books are very easy to download and use, once you have them.

EBay

EBay is the world's most popular auction site, and as such, it has a lot of bargains if they are searched for and bid on correctly. EBay's stock obviously changes depending on what people are selling, and you will find a variety of books ranging from the dummies guides for beginners right up to the expert electrical or engineering books. They also have E-Readers, so you can take advantage of the interactive books. However, these aren't a lot cheaper then buying them from other sources. As with any auction item, some of the computer technology books may be out-of-date, but they can still provide a basic understanding to anyone reading them.
