Get Free Textbooks

How Do I Get Free Textbooks?

Getting free college textbooks could be a real possibility - if you are willing to do a little more effort and are open to different book formats. For example, you may need to sell some old books first and you may be downloading a free textbook PDF, rather than getting a new copy.

Nevertheless, for the thrifty and determined college student, here's our guide to getting free (or nearly free) textbooks!

Create an Account & Sign Up for eWards

It all starts by creating an account on eCampus.com. This will get you your first eWards, access to our best coupon codes, and also allow you to start selling old books to us. Everything starts here.

After creating your account, you'll want to sign up for our eWards program. This will track all of your book sales, purchases, and social media efforts that will earn you additional credits to use toward your purchase.

Sell Books for In-Store Credit

Not only will you earn real money for selling your old books, you will also earn 1 reward point for every dollar sold (after you've signed up for eWards). These don't need to be textbooks. Any book with an ISBN can be searched on our 'Sell' page to see if we're offering to purchase a particular item.

Once you have entered all your ISBNs that you wish to sell, make sure to select "In-Store Credit" as the payment method. Doing this will earn you the most money for your textbook purchase and is also the fastest way to get paid for your books. Be sure to use the shipping label provided and ship your books in a timely manner.

Earn eWards

eWards are earned for completing these actions on-site and off-site:

• Signing Up for eWards
• Connecting Your FB and Twitter Accounts
• Tweet and Post
• Refer Friends
• Email a Product or Deal

If you complete all of the above actions, you can earn up to $20 off an order of $120 or more. This will come in handy later!
