There's a new online textbook rental service called TextBookFlix (http://www.textbookflix.com), which offers over two million used books and 800,000 new book titles. Students are welcome to check it out and compare the renting prices against buying new/used textbooks. They're not only cost-saving service, but also an eco-friendly one. They work with Eco-Libris (http://www.ecolibris.net) to plant a tree for every textbook that is rented on their website.
