Good Backpack to carry around books for school?

[Ender]

I want something comfortable and that has large capacity storage. I don't want to have a backpack in which I need to fasten a belt around my waist though, just something I carry on my shoulders (Good padding for back support though).

Thanks.

Just try them out. Bring a few books from home and stuff them in the backpack and try it out. I have a Samsonite backpack I bought because of this foam padding stuff on the back. Soooo comfortable. (doubles as a pillow in class)

I went to Staples and Office Depot but neither had good backpacks for sale. Can you guys reccomend a store that has Jansport/Samsonite backpacks?

The Jansport Air Eternity looks pretty stylish. I don't mind paying top dollars for a really good backpack if it will relieve me of some backpain I will suffer when I'm carrying ~10 lbs. of books and binders.
