Re: TextBook rental services: Is it possible to rent an electronic textbook?


Amazon Kindle Textbook Rental allows to rent and read textbooks. You can rent for the minimum length, typically 30 days, and save up to 80% off the print list price. If you find you need your textbook longer, you can extend your rental by as little as 1 day as many times as you want and just pay for the added days.

You can read rented textbooks on a Kindle reader or using one of the free Kindle reading apps (available for PC, Mac, iPad, iPhone, Android device, Windows Phone 7, Blackberry).

Main features of Kindle Textbook Rental service
  • Savings: Save up to 80% off the list price of the print textbook
  • Pay only for the time you need: Choose a rental length between 30 and 360 days and pay only for the exact time you need a book. Extend your rental for as little as one day or convert to purchase
  • Rent once, read everywhere: Rent and read tens of thousands of textbooks on PC, Mac, Kindle, or your mobile device
  • Keep your annotations: Access your notes and highlights anytime, even after the rental expires, at kindle.amazon.com

How to rent a textbook on Amazon
  1. To find a textbook search for it in the Amazon Textbooks Store or from the search bar. If a Kindle edition is available for rent, you'll see an option in the Formats section on the textbook page. Select this option.


  2. On the Kindle textbook page select your rental end date. Kindle textbooks can typically be rented for any length between 30 to 360 days - you pay only for the time you need and can extend or buy anytime.


  3. Click on "Rent now with 1-click" button to place your rental order.
