Not all students are wild about the price-check tool either because the site does not yet include Amazon, and it doesn't always compare the same editions

Students learn really quick the best place to buy books is Amazon, The pric-check tool probably wants a cut in the profit through some fee for listing them and Amazon probably told them to get lost.

Correct. When you can find the same book for much less, word gets out. At Iowa State we had a public non profit and a private store. The private store was usually cheaper, while the university store had more inventory.
