Chegg, a professional textbook rental service website, was founded in Iowa State University in 2005. Its business is to rent textbooks from students from nearly 7000 universities for up to one semester. The company currently has more than 2.4 million textbooks and has a textbook warehouse in Louisville, Kentucky. The rental price of the textbooks provided by chegg is much lower than the purchase price. After students book the leased textbooks from the online plan, chegg will send the corresponding textbooks to the lessee, and the lessee will return them after use. In addition to teaching materials, students can also get daily necessities, computers and even tutoring and work opportunities through chegg.
