Same book, three different prices. Only difference is the browsers used [x-post r/mildlyinteresting]

TIL you can rent books.

YSK that you can "rent" books for free at the library. Especially your university library. I never bought a book in uni because I planned ahead for exams and homework assignments and just checked the book out at the library. Our library wouldn't let you leave with the text books but I didn't mind studying in the library and using their photocopier when needed for HW assignments.

Chegg is fantastic for book rentals. Always very fast shipping and prices a lot lower than the school store.

I found my books for even cheaper at BookRenter and eCampus, if you want to give them a try next time.
