In the midst of summer (but mindful of the new fall term quickly approaching), the last thing we want is for anyone to be tethered to a computer and spending more time on indoor errands than outside enjoying the sun and friends and family. To help you get the info you need and keep you on the go and free to enjoy the weather and the good times, we've cranked out some technology to help you get real-time textbook price quotes on the fly.

In addition to our regular site-based search right here at CampusBooks.com, we've rolled out an iGoogle Gadget and Real-Time Price Tweetbacks. Check 'em out, load 'em up, and get acquainted so that you can get real-time price quotes without being shackled to a desk. And remember that the earlier you get your ISBN information and order your books, the more cash you'll save and the more eco-friendly used books you'll get. That said, make your price checks and orders quick, easy, and mobile by adding these two convenient apps:

For your laptop or smartphone with browser, add the CampusBooks.com iGoogle Gadget. Cool, now you're always just a click away from the latest info on the best textbook deals.

For Tweeps who prefer information via text/SMS (standard carrier rates apply), you can set up Price Tweetbacks in a few easy steps:

1. Follow CampusBooks on Twitter and send a text message to Twitter at 40404 w/the following: "Follow CampusBooks" (a one-time setup).
2. Once confirmed and activated, send CampusBooks a direct message via the Web or text Twitter (40404) with the following: "D CampusBooks ISBN" (both ISBN-10 and ISBN-13 are supported).
3. CampusBooks.com will respond with the lowest price and a link to purchase the book then and there.
