And since you'll be renting the books, the book places have to take them back but the down side is you won't get any money back from the return. This would have been awesome tow semesters again when I bought a book for over $200 and sold it for barely even $30. I could have rented it for around $50(total guess) and not has wasted over a $100 on a book I never really needed in the first place.

The only thing I can think of that might be different/better is if they must take the book back even if the edition changes for the next semester???
