2012 About.com College Life Readers' Choice Awards: Best Website for Renting College Textbooks

?

The 2012 About.com Readers' Choice Awards are annual awards, chosen by readers, that recognize the best of the best. Here on the College Life site, the awards are meant to recognize those services and resources that make college students' lives better -- or at least a little easier.

In particular, the Best Website for Renting College Textbooks award is meant to recognize the leader in online textbook rentals. As the option to rent college textbooks has become increasingly popular, the number of online vendors has also increased. And while renting college textbooks can save students some serious money, it can also be difficult to know which sites are the best priced, most reliable, and most trustworthy.

Voting will take place from February 22 through March 21, with winners announced March 30, 2012. To learn more about this program, visit the College Life Readers' Choice Awards main page or the About.com Readers' Choice FAQ page.

There are four finalists in this category. You can learn more about them or click on the nominee below to be taken to their website:
