iBookStore iPhone app takes the hassle out of textbook shopping

Currently, college students everywhere wait in eager anticipation to download their textbooks on the iPad, but until that fateful day arrives, they can bargain shop with the free  iPhone app.

The iPhone app is really simple; just take a photo of the book’s barcode with your iPhone to find out if you can purchase the text for cheaper, elsewhere. Or, if you have an iTouch, just enter the ISBN number, title, author or keyword and search that way.

You can purchase books straight from the iPhone app. Or if you are out of dough, email the book link to your mom straight from the app and let her do the honors. Just make sure you factor in delivery time when you order so you have your book before classes start.

The iPhone app searches all major book selling Web sites like Amazon and Barnes & Noble for you. You can even look up prices for selling your books back so you don’t have to waste time running around to different book stores pawning used textbooks for beer money.

The free book finder iPhone app is as much for book lovers as it is for eternal students. Search for Newbery Medal- or – Pulitzer Prize-winning books and more in the special awards section of the app and even create a wish list of your most wanted books.

Never get ripped off on a book again when you can comparison shop with the free iBookStore iPhone app.
