These sites you mentioned, giant corporate sites with ungodly amounts of functionality, are as awesome as they are because they pay a LOT of money to create, add and maintain those sites. If you just want to sell things, use a shopping cart. Some of those are free and they're relatively easy to install. You can link it all to a secure paypal account and the whole thing will be free to set up. Just time consuming adding all the products to the cart. But worth that effort, especially if you already have established a niche. You can have the cart link to the "Student Books" button. And then put the "Shop for Books" link on every other page, making sure you never lose any traffic because they couldn't easily get back to the shopping link.
