Affordabook is gearing up to help students get the best price on their college textbooks. Affordabook offers a free price comparison service for books and textbooks.
"We make comparing textbook prices as easy as can be. We wanted to make it as simple as possible for college students to save money on textbooks."
Austin-San Marcos, TX (1888PressRelease) August 23, 2011 - Textbook season is upon us, but that doesn't necessarily mean college students need to empty their wallets this fall at the college bookstore. Affordabook.com, one of the largest textbook comparison sites on the web, aims to help students save up to 60% by comparing textbook prices at retailers like Amazon, AbeBooks, Book Renter, Chegg and more. By using Affordabook, students can instantly and easily compare textbook prices.
Vinnie Thomas of Brick, NJ founded Affordabook.com during his junior year at Virginia Tech when he simply became fed up with the way that textbook sales worked. "They were always overpriced, and at the end of the semester college students were left with a book worth a quarter what you paid for it just a few months earlier," Thomas said. The website instantly compares prices at 15 of the most trusted textbook shops on the web, leaving the absolute cheapest price options for students to grab prior to shelling out money at the college bookstore.
Affordabook is also giving away Amazon gift cards this semester to welcome the class of 2015 to Affordabook. "Our goal in this promotion is to build relationships with college students around the world with the intent of saving them large amounts of money on their textbooks this fall and in the future," Thomas said. "We know that we have a special product for our users, we simply need to get the word out to them and show them exactly how much money we can potentially save them."
