About BIGWORDS.com
BIGWORDS.com: The SMARTEST way to buy, rent or sell textbooks. For Android phones and tablets.
BIGWORDS saves about $1000/yr average textbook orders. WE DON’T SELL ANYTHING. We find the cheapest textbooks to buy or rent by comparing prices at every good online textbook store.
One of Lifehacker's "Five Best Places to Buy Cheap Textbooks": "BIGWORDS is the textbook website that put seller/shipping optimization on the map with their Multi-Item Price Optimization services."
The BIGWORDS Uber-BOT textbook price comparison uses Multi-Item Price Optimization(tm) to maximize promotions and minimize shipping, providing the lowest total cost for your entire textbook order. It’s why we save students $225 on average multi-item orders.
Buy, rent, or sell textbooks: New, used, rentals - They’re all considered and calculated automatically to save you the most money.
...And that’s not all. It’s not exactly Snuggie, but it’ll give you the same warm fuzzy feeling when you realize how well you’re stickin’ it to the bookstore man. If we find books from sellers with low feedback scores, we’ll strip them out for you! Book looks like it’s been run over by a truck? Not a problem! We’ll ignore it. What’s that? You don’t care if it was run over by a truck and fell into a sewer? We’ll show you the very dirt-cheapest textbooks. Nobody, and I mean nobody, does textbooks like this. We slice ‘em, we dice ‘em, we find the cheapest copies of the right textbooks so YOU don’t have to spend your hard earned cash OR spend hours scouring the Internet for deals. This thing cleans up textbook prices like a Sham Wow does grape juice.
Voted most important app by all of us who built it, we believe you will be as overjoyed as we were when it started working. In fact, we’re so sure you’ll be completely satisfied that we’re giving it away FREE! Not a limited time offer. This thing is free and it’s going to stay free, because we love and respect you, student kind.

You guys rock! Thanks for adding baroda scanning. The app still can be glitchy and non intuitive - mostly in the book bag section. I'd like there to be a way to just check buy/sell on one book, without ever using the book bag. One more idea is to add a dedicated soft button or side pane to bring up the 'options' menu - many phones now (e.g. S5) don't have a 'right click/options' button and I don't know if the average user knows to hold down the app switcher button to access that.

Search results only show rentals despite ignoring rental sites and opting out of rentals in the options. App becomes useless. It's a shame because the website is the best out there.

After entering my search item, here wasn't an option to proceeded to the next page. Bad bug, disappointed, unistalled.

The old version worked fine and then you changed it to this one that doesn't perform the basic function that users need. We need the older version back, it supports the Android platform and this one doesn't!
