Digital bookstores

Here are some links to shop books that you cannot find in the resources.

Amazon

Amazon is probably the largest supplier of digital books, and it sells books from most of the digital book suppliers – often at a lower price than purchasing directly from the publisher.

Google Books

Google Books lists (typically in the top left corner of the browser) a link to purchase an eBook or physical copy of the book you are viewing.

Google Play

Google Play has discounts specifically for academic books which can be purchased, or (in some cases) rented.

RedShelf

Some academic books can be found on RedShelf.

The Publisher

If Amazon doesn't carry a digital copy, check the publisher's website. Many publishers, like Cambridge University Press, sell digital copies of their books.
