    These guys "Perlego" want to become the "Spotify for textbooks"... I guess they have competition with other big names in the textbook rental arena! I wonder if this will pan out well as there are so many other players in the field already, but they did raise $50 million, so I guess there are plenty of supporters. In the end though, most students will take out the cheapest, or easiest rental they can get versus purchasing an older used paper copy....

    From the article: "Perlego (Latin for “I read”)...." Oh, right. For a minute there, I thought they were using those danged little plastic building-blocks! :rolleyes:
