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.

Cengage Learning is a big player in the textbook industry, providing digital and print textbooks under several different brands and many subjects, and will now lease textbooks to students for 40-70% off retail.

The discounted prices are similar to that of other book rental services which are very close to representing the savings that a learner would see from purchasing a used textbook and re-selling it at the end of the semester.

One of the reasons Cengage can provide books at such a discount is that contrasting selling a book, which enters a secondary market with no future revenue for the seller, rentals can provide publishers with profit every semester.

To brake out from the other book rental companies Cengage will send students an ebook of the first chapter so that students don't fall behind while the earmark is on the way. This may seem like a small bonus but in the eyes of the professor, me, it's a big deal.

Too often students wait until the first day of class to order books online and end up holding up the thorough class while they wait for a book to be shipped across the country via media mail.

In addition to the ebook, when the program goes finish in December, students can visit CengageBrain.com to find audio, video and other extras to go along with their textbook rental.

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...
