CHEGG (price varies by subject). Instead of spending hundreds of dollars each semester on books then selling them back for pocket change, students can rent the books online for a fraction of the cost. Similar to Netflix, textbooks rented through CHEGG will be delivered to the student's door before classes start. Once the semester is over and they're done with the textbooks, students simply print out a pre-paid shipping label from their online CHEGG account and send the books back.
