Full FeedFind textbook savings with the new SMS service from Chegg.com
If you’re like most college students, money is super tight and looking at the price of textbooks can bring on an instant panic attack. To help with this expense, Chegg.com has launched a SMS service to provide instants quotes on the rental of student textbooks. A new mobile site has also been introduced by the textbook rental company.
The SMS service is simple to use and will require that the user know the ISBN of the textbook they are interested in renting. Simply, send a text to 44144 with “ISBN” and then the ISBN number in the body. You will receive a return text with the rental cost of the book. The mobile site (m.chegg.com) involves entering either the book’s title or ISBN to receive a price quote. The rental cost will be sent to your email address.
A perk of renting textbooks is that you can simply return them when done instead of going through the hassle of reselling them. Chegg.com estimates that users will save as much as 85 percent off the cost of their textbooks. However, these estimates are based on new textbooks and not used versions.

I got around $40-50 per book which was MUCH higher than I could get from the college bookstore or even by selling on Amazon. Coupon code CC101954 gives you an extra $5.00 when you sell your books to Chegg. The same coupon gets you an extra 5% off of book rentals.
