Learning for exams made cheap and easy

Opportunity: Books at your doorstep.

I recently had to study for my driver’s license examination and I found a new problem. The 3 books for the exam are quite expensive at around 30 RON each and they are of no use once the exam is finished.

I tried, therefore, to borrow the book from acquaintances but those people had already loaned them to somebody else. Instead of buying the book to learn and then cast it away in some corner of the house, why not provide a service that lends it out for a small amount and then take it back? This service could benefit anyone sitting for any exam that has expensive study materials. The company providing the service could just have a warehouse and an online web page for taking orders. For busy people (and a small fee) they could deliver the book at your place and pick it up when you are done. There are a lot of people I know that rather reading a normal book to online versions, which is another advantage.

All in all, this service could prove very useful and very profitable. Bookswim.com is an example of an online lending company that has grown incredibly due to home delivery and extensive diversity.
