Con
Deceptive, unreliable merchants
Many users have complained about information inconsistencies, shipping problems, and wrongful refusal of refunds. The percentage of orders that are actually fulfilled is estimated to be about 20%. While this isn't always the fault of AbeBooks.com, it might just be a lack of proper oversight.

Pro
Compares all online sources directly from the university bookstore's page
Occupy The Bookstore works as a plugin that works with most schools' "find my textbooks" function. Once the needed textbooks are given, the plugin compiles a list of all available sources with a price comparison. Occupy The Bookstore doesn't replace popular textbook retailers. Instead, it helps users find the best source.

Con
Not compatible with every bookstore
Because this is a plugin, the information is scraped off the university bookstore website. If the university bookstore's web address ends in Neebo.com, BKSTR.com, or BNCollege.com, the plugin will work. If the university bookstore doesn't use these services, it won't be compatible with the plugin yet.
