This article in Time Magazine outlines nicely the benefits of choosing E-Textbook rentals. How Much Will Students Really Save Using Amazon’s E-Textbooks?
I really wish there were E-Textbook rentals when I was in college. It would have saved me a lot of money and effort lugging textbooks around campus, not to mention storage space! The nicest part is you don't have to think about what to do with them after the course ends. No need to make the effort to sell a used textbook. For those who don't resell their textbooks, they must ask themselves do they really have space to keep them? As the article says, chances are high you will never look at them again...
With the trend of E-Textbooks,students are able to save more by renting them.My children are saving more through amazon
