Yes, basically. I got an e-mail from scholarships.com today with the site http://scholarships.bookrenterstore.com/ and I'll look into it more tomorrow, but I want to have more options

not worth it. the prices are not that much cheaper. I tend to get at least 75% of my textbook price back by buying used and reselling again. There have been a couple of times I bought a book and resold online for more.

How much does the average book rental cost for you? I'm interested in buying used books as well, but around here I can't find any. Not to mention, it'll be a lot easier to return books then trying to resell them in my opinion. Please let me know what the average cost of renting a book and on what site you used. Thanks.
