I've rented text books. I've also sold text books I've found in dumpsters. Protip for all the hobos out there, untapped market.

thanks to the democratization of publishing my friend who is way better at writing lots and lots of words than he is at writing good ones now has a bunch of ebooks in the kindle store. I don't recommend spending yr money.
