TextbookRush.com expands textbook inventory selection by 2.5 million titles in time for the 2023 school year.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, August 21, 2023 – TextbookRush.com, located near the campus of The Ohio State University, announces partnership with SuperBookDeals and Alibris.com to add over 2.5 million books for rent and sale. As over 14 million students return to college, TextbookRush.com continues to gain market share against Chegg as both compete to replace Amazon's book rental service which was closed March 31, 2023.
“While Artificial Intelligence (AI) will certainly assist students, people grasp information more effortlessly through visual learning using physical textbooks.” says Phil Smyres, CEO of TextbookRush. "The physical book will continue to be central to a student's learning for years to come. These partnerships are part of our ongoing commitment to making college books more affordable for students.”
Since its early days as an online source for student textbooks, the Columbus based TextbookRush has established itself as the premiere site to meet the textbook needs of all students. These new partnerships will provide students with more affordable rental and purchase options on higher education titles.
