Is it correct that the Lifetime Learning Credit and the Tuition & Fees Deduction can't be used for books/supplies that can be purchased anywhere? If so, then where can I deduct the books/supplies that I purchased at a non-University book store?

I've already used the American Opportunity Credit for 4-years, so I can no longer use it.

Am I out of options for deducting the books/supplies I purchased at a non-University book store?
