The recent launch of a book rental website hopes to provide an alternative to textbook shopping for college students across the country.
Apart from the Cornell Store, Kraftees and various popular online bookstores, students can choose to rent textbooks from BookRenter.com, which is partnered with Amazon.com. According to BookRenter, depending on the book and rental period, students may be able to save up to 75 percent off the retail price on textbooks.
