Skoobit, the idea is similar to movie rentals, but without the late fees. Skoobit has developed a textbook rental system that will enable college students to rent textbooks for the months, semesters, or for the year.

Skoobit decided to establish this new way to help college students - Graduate and Undergraduate with the jaw-dropping cost of textbooks. Now college students in a financial squeeze, can pay less for textbooks, and have money left over for more than noodles.

“When I was in college I had to spend hundreds of dollars on books each semester, and every semester I would try to sell them back, but would receive a lot less than I paid for, if I got anything at all,” said Christopher Blythe, creator of Skoobit.

Most students have to pay for college tuition, room and board, transportation, and a large number of other expenses. A good percentage of student income goes towards textbooks that, on average, are never looked at after the semester, or are sold back for a fraction of the original price. So, don’t spend more than necessary for textbooks. Rent instead of own.

College students will be able to rent any textbook for as long as needed with the simple commitment of returning it once they are done using it. It’s an easy procedure.

There are a variety of plans to satisfy the needs of students, such as special summer semester plans for those who only require 3 books at a time. The most popular plan would be a $10.99 a month per book for four months. Shipping and handling is free for receiving as well as returning.
