How reliable is textbooks.com?
I've never personally ordered books through them but I'm pretty sure it's a legitimate website that won't rip you off. HOWEVER: 1. Look into renting first with Chegg.com they rent you the books cheap and it's better than paying a lot of money to buy a book you'll only use for a semester. Plus, here's a coupon code: CC125523 2. IF you really MUST buy the book (you plan on keeping it for years or something) use directtextbook.com so you can compare prices from hundreds of online sellers, plus all of the ones listed there are legit. You're doing the right thing in not buying from your campus' bookstore. See if you can find upperclassmen that are selling their old books, they're usually so desperate to get rid of them that they give you ridiculously low prices.
What is a good online audio book rental site?
There aren't any, given the legal issues involved. If you don't want to go to your local library, see if they loan audiobooks through a service like Overdrive. Past that, you can sign up for a plan with Audible or other sites that give you discounts. Amazon also has a number of deals where you can buy the Kindle version of the book and get the audio version at a discount. I've picked up several where the Kindle book was $1.99 and the Audible version .99. You can get public domain books read by volunteers for free from librivox.org, and some authors have free versions of their books at podiobooks.com.
Which is better: a Loose-leaf textbook or Paperback Textbook?
The difference in paperback textbooks is the quality of the covers and the binding of the book. I bought a used copy of an Organic Chemistry Solution Guide and Answer Manual several years ago at a used book store and I could tell the binding was good quality. On the other hand, two paper back answer manuals that I got for a hardback calculus textbook did not have a good quality binding so I cut them up and put each of them in a three ring binder for future use. I have found that doing this does more to protect the answer manual and other former paperbacks for future use.I had a retiring chemistry professor give me a paper back chemistry book that was still in plastic from the publisher and had holes punched in it to be put in a three ring binder which was fine with me.Whenever you look at a paperback text book you have to look at the binding and decide if it's good quality, and if it's not, prepare to cut it up and put it in a 3 ring binder to give it good/better protection for future use.

What is a "package component" when buying textbooks?
I'm buying textbooks for my freshman year of college so i have no idea what i'm doing. i looked up the books needed for a certain class and it brought up two options. one was labeled required for the class and the other was labeled as a package component. they are both the same price and i want to make sure i get everything i need for class so that i'm not unprepared. the only thing my schools website said was "Titles that are designated as "Package Component" are components of a required package used for your course. If you would like to purchase the entire package, please select it. If however, you plan on using only pieces of the package, some or all may be available individually. If you purchase only package components, you may save money if used copies are available. Be careful you don’t buy both." thanks for any explanation you can give me : )
Am I legally allowed to download something from a pirate site if I already bought it?
Legally, no. Think about it this way - if you owned a physical book and then photocopied the entire same book from your friend's copy that would still be you making an illegal copy. The information being electronic doesn't change the action, only the ease and quality of the copy.In fact, you almost certainly have fewer rights to make copies of digital media than physical, even when copying your own legally owned version. Opposition from rights-holding organizations such as the RIAA to practices such as ripping one's own CDs onto one's MP3 player are part of why the copyright wars ended up in such extreme positions for so long. It is frequently the position (and you can read this in those long click-through licenses nobody reads) of these organizations that when you buy something like a CD you're actually purchasing only the physical plastic disk. You're renting the bits that are on the disk and the organizations claim to be able to prohibit you from doing various things with those bits. DRM is one common means of enforcing these restrictions.Physical goods in the US usually come with what are called "first sale" rights, meaning that once you've legally purchased, say, a book, the ability of the rights-holder to control what you do with your legal copy is severely restricted. You are allowed to sell your used physical book, for example. First sale rights do not exist for digital goods in part because of this (legal) fiction that you aren't actually purchasing the software that comes with the disk you bought.Hope this helps.

Ok family video rental store has a cool cd/dvd cleaner. what kind is it ?
Its just an expensive looking machine that spins the disc on a soft lintless cleaning material. You'd do better just by cleaning your discs with a very soft cloth in warm water and mild dish soap. Rinse thouroughly, pat - do not rub - dry and let air dry till completely dry.
