Just want to point out Chegg seeing as no one else has brought it up. They're a similar site and pretty big. The difference is that they hold their own inventory, and students can sell their used books to Chegg.

We're very aware of Chegg and the $80+ million they've raised :). We believe that our model is more scalable and portable than theirs. It also carries a story that resonates with students. Students rarely enjoy the process of purchasing textbooks for class. We're aiming to make that a little better.
While Chegg has a head start on us it's very early and we look forward to crushing them :).
