Mybookhead.com is the First Website to Provide Three-Day Textbook Rentals to Students for a Fraction of the Price
College Students Just Need Books for Mid-Terms and Finals
Murfreesboro, TN, February 27, 2008 --(PR.com)-- Mybookhead.com has launched this spring semester 2008 to allow college students across the nation the opportunity to rent textbooks at a fraction of the cost. The website is the first to partner with college campus bookstores to allow students to rent their textbooks.
The web site allows college students to rent their textbooks from participating bookstores for as low as 5% of the retail cost. The goal of the web site is to help bookstores reach the 65% of students that do not buy all of their textbooks (source NACS).
Ronald Akins and Stephen Watkins, recent college grads and best friends created mybookhead.com after facing the enormous cost of college textbooks. Currently college students pay an average of $1,000 per year for their textbooks (source U.S. GAO). At that cost, bookstores capture only 35% of the student population that purchase all of their textbooks. This is the reason mybookhead.com has already partnered with bookstores at state universities, such as Middle Tennessee State University, Kennesaw State University, University of Memphis, Arkansas State University, University of Central Florida, and Georgia State University, just to name a few.
The process of renting textbooks is easy for students. After registering on the website a student can either reserve their book online or visit the partnering bookstore to find their book.
“Mybookhead.com is an alternative that students have to obtaining their textbooks for classes,” said Watkins.
“We have made the cost of textbooks affordable by providing three-day rentals for the lowest price possible,” said Akins. "We’ve found that many students in certain classes only use their books a few time during the semester”.
Mybookhead.com is the solution to campus bookstores providing alternatives to the 65% of students that don't buy all their textbooks. With its edgy approach to the college lifestyle and unique 3-day rental, Mybookhead.com is sure to be a better alternative to traditional methods of obtaining textbooks for the nearly 18 million students across the nation.
