    They are? :eek: I need to buy my (extremely expensive) college books soon...

    Yeah they are! I really hope that they don't up the prices and include a delivery charge! It is such a great site like it would be a shame to ruin it. :(

    Ya, I bought them last year off The Book Depository and they were all about 10-20 euro cheaper than in the bookshop. Still not sure what I need though :(

    Hmmm I hope UL have a book list because BD is a whole lot cheaper. Is it true that you don't always need every book you're told to get it?

    Depends what course you're doing I'd say! If you were doing something like English with certain books to review you'd obviously have to get them. A lot of the time you're given a few books that would help but they're all similiar, so you'd have to do some research or get some out from the library to see which one you like :)

    There is a certain amount of genius in owning a kindle and studying lots of rather old english. No copyright so legally free.... ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,405 ✭✭✭RHunce


    Actually that brings up a question, are you able to get textbooks on the kindle? I know it depends on the course but are they beginning to publish them in e book format?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,871 ✭✭✭Conor108


    Well Amazon just started a 'Rent college textbooks for the Kindle' thing so probably

    Loved the first book. I'll let you know how these compare. 300 pages into A Clash of Kings and it's a straight off continuation of the first book. Only thing to note is that I'll be heading off to Irish College the weekend. I will post about the book but you'll probably be onto them yourself by then.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,384 ✭✭✭Duffy the Vampire Slayer


    Got myself new jeans, 2 t-shirts, a shirt, and a copy of War and Peace for 2.50... Reading it might be a challenge though!
