Online Textbook rental services: How to rent a physical textbook?


 
My previous question was about renting electronic textbooks (ebooks) online. However I'm interested in renting physical textbooks as well. Actually I like the latter books much more when I study. That's because I can put stickers, pieces of paper instead of electronic notes and bookmarks. I can also have 2 textbooks open simultaneously if needed.

So my question is what online Textbook services offer renting physical ebooks?

Alibris allows to rent textbooks.



Drop a class? Change your mind? Within 24 days of your rental date, you can return rented books to Alibris for a refund.

What will you get when renting a book?
- New or used textbook that needs to be returned.
- Less cost up front.
- No need to sell back a purchased.

Note that when renting a textbook
- You can't write or highlight too much in them.
- You need to return textbooks on time at the semester's end.
- You won't keep it.




Note that Alibris allows to buy new and used textbooks at a discount of up to 80%
