Headed back to school? Snag cheap textbooks with the Half.com iPhone app!

Half.com (by eBay) is one of those sites that should be in every college student's bookmarks. Whether you're buying new textbooks or unloading old ones, Half.com is a pretty hassle-free solution. If you're gearing up to use Half.com this semester, though, you should consider going the Half.com iPhone app route instead of hitting up the traditional Web interface.

Why?

Well, the free iPhone app includes barcode scanning, so you can go shopping at your school bookstore, scan the barcodes of the books that you need, and then pay the cheaper prices that you find on Half.com. It also saves your checkout information, so you can make multiple purchases without having to log in again. You might not need it all year round. Unfortunately, the app isn't set up to handle your seller account, so you'll still have to manage that on the Web, without barcode scanning.
