My best comprehension comes from highlighting and marking up my books, not to mention that staring at a computer screen for even longer than I already have to does NOT sound appealing. Recently I've started RENTING my books from bookrenter.com, which I couldn't be more satisfied with. By renting my books, I save half off the bookstore price, plus I don't have to worry about selling back and receiving nothing in return when the term ends. I've always been worried that my books won't arrive in time when I order them online, but bookrenter.com shipped them quickly in time for class. And the best part about it was that I still got to highlight key points with an erasable highlighter that is also sold on the site!
