Digital book rentals for student
Saw this today, it will be fascinating to see what happens over the next 5 years in this category.
Amazon announced rentals of books for students which can help save quite a lot of money. What I found especially interesting is that Amazon will keep the notes for students even after the rental is over.
“Normally, when you sell your print textbook at the end of the semester you lose all the margin notes and highlights you made as you were studying. We’re extending our Whispersync technology so that you get to keep and access all of your notes and highlighted content in the Amazon Cloud, available anytime, anywhere – even after a rental expires. If you choose to rent again or buy at a later time, your notes will be there just as you left them, perfectly Whispersynced.”
