<p>Just saw that amazon jumped into the rentals..not sure I like the policies though. Example of calculus book:</p>
<p>$212 at bookstore
$155 Amazon new
$120 Amazon used
$65 Amazon rental</p>
<p>now here is the part I do not like. $256 buyout. So, if book is lost or damaged, I owe $256 less rental price. You would think the buyout would be the price of the book new at the time of rental..no?</p>
<p>advantages:</p>
<p>Free 2 day prime shipping and free return shipping</p>
