Textbooks follow tuition as the biggest college expense. A single text book can cost more than $200..
So some students are renting textbooks at a third of the price. Barnes and Noble recently started the service at 25 college bookstores. http://www.chegg.com -a pioneer in text rentals - claims to have saved students more than 145-million dollars since 2007.
And now some of the biggest publishers are jumping on the electronic book phenomena and providing I-Books at a much lower cost.
