It looks sus but its legit. I took the risk so you didn't have to.

I was pretty sussed out by the website cause the reviews swung wildly between sh*te scam and godsend but I took the plunge on a 10$ textbook that reddit users were trying to scalp for 30 (to give some perspective, it's 20$ on amazon to rent). I took the risk and it paid off, email with a pdf and epub link to a google drive came asap in my spam. I scanned the googlef files and its clean as far as I can tell. Might not work for every book but it did for me.

Obvious scam is obvious

FIRST
Fake reviewers can't get their stories straight.

(Review A) "converted an ebook for me to PDF for free"
(Review B) "the second I bought it, the entire book became available to me via PDF and downloaded in seconds."
(Review C) "Got it within 12 hours, lowest I paid ever!"

So do you get the textbook in PDF form or do you have to convert it to PDF form? And do you get it in seconds or in 12 hours?

By the way, in 2020 you can convert pretty much any file form to PDF form online in seconds for free. And shouldn't an e-book always be available for instant download since it's an electronic product purchased online?

By the way again -- "the second I bought it, the entire book became available to me via PDF and downloaded in seconds." Why is the reviewer so amazed at this? This is what happens every time I buy an e-book.
When I paid for my burger at McDonald's they made the ENTIRE burger (not just the bread or onions) available to me via hand-giving in seconds. Awesome!

SECOND
"I will be back to get all of my books here."
"Needless to say, I'll be purchasing from Duran more often!"
"This site is a life saver for me.. Highly recommended.."

Unnecessarily overenthusiastic reviews are usually fake reviews.

THIRD
"my book only costed me 8 bucks!!!! it was only for like 80 dollars i pay and immediatly got the book on pdf”

Say what? Was it $8 or $80?
And does this sound like the English of a "Candace Kelly” from the US?
No, it’s Apu from the Simpsons.

Scammer's trying very awkwardly to sound like a real person. But why would a real customer sign off their review like this?

Fraudulent

Do not purchase from this company - I placed a purchase and the funds were successfully sent and it said the order was unpaid, and they didn't give me access to the ebook. I then sent the funds again, and they still haven't given me access to the ebook despite having paid for it twice. I followed FAQ instructions and contacted support but they have not replied - This is a fraudulent company.

This is NOT A real company

This is a real company. Don't waste your money purchasing book here. I purchased ebook, payment was made but i did not heard from Duran Book anything after. Checked my spam mail and my Duran book account but nope. I send them an emails several times but they are not responding.

No problems at all

Just barely bought my textbook so I will update if they take my card info or something. But I literally just bought my textbook for 10 instead of the 90 everyone else wanted. Probably not legal but the textbook industry is f*cked up so idc. Good service so far

I'm preparing for my upcoming OSCE…

I'm preparing for my upcoming OSCE exam, searching for a Medical Surgical Nursing in Canada 4th edition.. Local seller are charging me around 130-160 CAD second hand. I decided to search on ebooks online and found this site. Costs me only 20 USD, what a price.. Downloaded the PDF its now on my laptop and mobile so i can review anytime on the go.. This site is a life saver for me.. Highly recommended..

First time customer very satisfied.

First time customer very satisfied.. I was also skeptical at first because sometimes when its too good to be true it is.. But I took a chance anyway. My book I needed was only 15 bucks! and its automatically converted into a pdf file for convenience... meanwhile that same book I needed was on Chegg for 52 smh... Needless to say, I'll be purchasing from Duran more often!

I tried this site thinking maybe it was…

I tried this site thinking maybe it was not completely legit but the reviews I saw about Duran Books made me feel much better about making my purchase.

Book I needed was advertised for a very affordable price and the second I bought it, the entire book became available to me via PDF and downloaded in seconds. Reliable and trustworthy.

LEGIT BOOK SITE

I got the book download the minute I paid so it is legit! I needed another book that was not on their website so I contacted customer service and they found the book for me right away for a great price. I will be back to get all of my books here.
