PRLog -- Which is better Renting or Buying books? Textbook renting has become common with textbook rentals offered for as little as 30 days to up to 6 months. At most time textbook rental prices are slightly lower than used textbook prices, other times renting books may be more expensive. Rent books but be sure you understand, you have to return the book back to the textbook rental companies on time. Be careful not to damage the book or excessively highlight the content, else you may be charged book replacement costs. Used books purchased are eligible for cash back at the textbook buyback season. See for yourself which is cheapest option: renting or buying used books or getting an eBook. The free textbook price comparison search engine by AffordTextbooks.com compares cheap used textbook prices, cheap book rental prices, cheapest digital textbook prices and international edition prices to find the cheapest college textbooks.
Books for rent costs about 45% cost of book brand new, you return it and get back nothing. A $110 retail price new textbook is usually rented for $45 for a semester. The cost to keep the book for a semester is $45. But you could have bought a used textbook hardcover after comparing prices for $82 and at the end of the semester sold for $60 or so, and then the cost to keep the book was only $22. You could have also got an international edition textbook for cheaper than renting textbook.
