bigwords has all of the features of ugenie, and was doing all that stuff, like multi-item bundling, international, electronic editions, calculation of coupons, etc., for the past several years. in addition to those features, bigwords strips out the junky copies, helping students to find the _right_ copy of the textbook, which is something no other site that I’ve found does.

You should have tried bigwords.com. I used them throughout college and I found their tool easy to use and informative.
