Textbooks & Discounts

Where can I buy my textbooks?

You can buy textbooks online here.

Can I see which textbooks INPUT has in stock?

You cannot see which books are in stock on our website. But you can count on it that all textbooks for the current and upcoming period or block can be delivered within a few days.

I need a textbook and the course has already started, but the book is not in stock. What now?

Incidentally, there may be some delay in the delivery of textbooks. We do everything we can to have the required textbooks in stock as soon as possible. Usually the following applies: if you don't have it, the others don't either. We do our very best to deliver the book to everyone as quickly as possible. In case of problems, we inform the teacher.

I bought a textbook, but I want to quit the course. Can I still return the book?

In exceptional cases, you can return textbooks in consultation with a Smartbooks employee. Immediately state that it concerns an order via INPUT.

I'm going to take a course, but I can't find it on the INPUT website. What should I do now?

No books are prescribed for some subjects. Those courses are therefore not available online. It is of course possible that a course is not listed and a book is needed. We would like to hear about this mistake via: info@smartbooks.nl.

I would like to buy all my textbooks at once, is that possible?

You can buy textbooks for the whole year, but we strongly advise against it. Not only is it expensive, but you also take a risk. Sometimes changes occur in the prescribed literature, or new editions of books appear. This may mean that you have bought the wrong book, or that you have bought a book that you do not need at all. If you order books per period, you're always in the right place!

How much discount do I get on my textbooks if I am a member of INPUT?

If you are a member of INPUT, you will receive a very high discount on your textbooks.

Discount on Dutch study books

Before a period starts you will receive a 10 percent discount on Dutch titles when ordering online via INPUT. This has to do with Dutch legislation. You will only receive this discount in the period stated online with the titles. Once the period has started, you will receive a 5 percent discount on the purchase of 2 different Dutch-language books from a study association.

Discount on English books

English (study) books are always super cheap, with a discount of 15% on the suggested retail price, if you are a member of INPUT.

Where can I join INPUT?

Second-hand books

Does INPUT sell second-hand textbooks?

Second-hand books are sold through this website to members of INPUT.

Can I sell my textbooks via INPUT?

You can offer your textbooks that you no longer need for sale in June of each year. INPUT will inform you by email when you can offer your books through this site.

What price do I pay for a used book?

That differs per book. When ordering you can choose between 'used' and 'heavily used'. In the latter case you pay even less, but then there are more markings present in the book.

Ebooks

How do I buy an Ebook?

After ordering your ebook you will receive an activation link from Vital Source. With this link you create your account at Vital Source. As soon as you have logged in you will get access to your Bookshelf where you can read your e-book online.

What does ’90 days’, ‘180 days’ and ‘unlimited access’ mean?

Some Ebooks have an option to purchase the book with access for a limited amount of time; 90 or 180 days, for example. You can also choose to buy them with unlimited access. Limited access is available at a lower price.

Some Ebooks are available with ‘reflowable layout’ and some with ‘fixed layout’, what does that mean?

There are two formats of Ebooks, including Reflowable and Fixed Layouts.

A Reflowable Ebook, is also known as an EPUB. The text is responsive, so the font size can be easily adjusted no matter the size of the screen. These books conform to EPUB 3 industry standards.

A Fixed Layout Ebook is also known as a PDF. The fixed layout textbook maintains the look and feel of a bound book—the text is fixed and the screen size determines the size of the text.

Both types of Ebook support a wide range of features, including notes, highlights, text to speech, printing, syncing across devices, and more.
