Support PF: Buy your textbooks here

In summary, Physics Forums has opened an affiliate account with Amazon.com. This will allow them to receive 5-7% of any purchase you make. This is a nice way to help out and save money on your school textbooks.

Anyone as long as it's within the amazon URL :). Thanks!

Stupid question: Does this also work for orders via Amazon in Germany? Then, of course, I'll order via the physicsforums link :-).

Same question here.

Amazon recently launched itself in India and I will be buying a few books in the coming months.

Yes any amazon link originating from PF :) you can click on the .com link and then switch to your county.

I didn't know about this. Perhaps you should consider putting this in the "notices" box at strategic* times?

*i.e., summer and winter

6% of any purchase you make is sent to Physics Forums. Think about buying your school textbooks and materials this way.

Just click this link and the tracking system will register that PF sent you. Thanks!

https://www.amazon.com/?tag=pfamazon01-20 or https://www.amazon.com/?tag=pfamazon01-20 or http://www.ebay.com

I am about to buy some books on Amazon, so this is the chance to support the forum!

Should I click the link you mentioned?... just like that?

Would it be okay to buy a nonfiction book about something factual (like computer science) but have the intent of studying it as a subject not offered by school and mention Physics Forums?

I have a question. For this site to receive proceeds from a purchase on Amazon, do I have to buy the book from Amazon directly? Ie. sold by amazon or can I buy a book from any member that is listed on Amazon?

Next semester fall 2011 I'll buy my books through this (about 400 dollars).

Heh heh. You either made a typo, or you are a much better physicist than you let on and you have a time machine that let's you go to school 4 years ago.

I've been buying things from smile.amazon.com because that way Amazon donates a tiny percentage to a nonprofit of my choosing as long as it's an amazon-affiliated organization. I'll consider purchasing thru PF's account. Maybe in turn with smile. Oh, and I'll definitely buy way more from amazon because it's advertised on the PF.
