Quick Back to School App: BigWords Text Book Deal Finder for iPhone
Bigwords [Free - iTunes link] is the iPhone and iPod touch front-end for the Bigwords.com website and it aims to help students (and their parents!) find the best deals on text books.
How good is it at that task? Um... I don't know. College and I got mutual restraining orders against each other over a decade ago, so I can't go within 100 meters of this app without getting a major case of the wiggins. Bigwords tells us "at least 50%", so if you're headed back to school and you want to save a few (or a lot) of bucks on your way, give this a try and let us know how it works for you!

This is the greatest app! I saved more than $250 in less than 15 minutes and got every book I need (I think). I even rented a couple of books. What a great source! Easy to use and so fast.....and they have everything and cheap, too! Thanks for telling me about BIGWORDS!
