In order to beat the prices at the bookstore, students explore other avenues of textbook purchasing to avoid some seemingly unnecessary complications. The option to search online for books allows for resources to be more available to students than ever before. Within minutes, one can download a text and have it synced and ready to read on an e-reader or laptop, erasing the initial frustration of the bookstore calamities. The growth of technology has enabled books of all sorts to be readily available at one’s fingertips within days, or even minutes. The ability to order books from online stores or purchase downloadable versions of text, , allows students to be in control of their book orders and preferences, rather than only having one source, such as the university book store.
