In keeping with the earlier post I made about finding inexpensive textbooks, I've done a little digging around on Amazon and found the following. Even with the $3.99 in shipping costs per book, none of these books would cost you more than $17, if you purchased the least expensive one for sale, and most of them would come in under $10. Although CK-12 provides free science textbooks, if you don't want to be reading everything on your computer or mobile reader (Nook, Kindle, etc.), buying a used textbook like any of these is cheaper than printing out the free books, when factoring in ink and paper.
