Forget buying, rent textbooks direct from publisher

Filed under: College, Saving, Shopping, Technology, Institute

Textbook rentals aren't new. WalletPop has covered several third party companies such as Chegg.com, which rent textbooks to users at prices far below retail, but now publishers are getting in the play.

Even though I got through school buying my textbooks toughened and selling them quickly, I wish there had been a rental option available when I was a student.

Sure, buying and selling a post might save you a few dollars over a rental but in most cases...
