Amazon has released a new iPhone app for college-bound students that offers online price comparisons for textbooks. As the school year beings, finding a good deal on class textbooks can be tricky.
The new Amazon Student app lets users scan the barcode of a textbook and determine its trade-in value. Users can also buy new and used textbooks from Amazon.com and have them shipped from within the app.
“College Students, keep Amazon.com in your back pocket. The Amazon Student App allows instant price-checks on textbooks and more. Simply scan a barcode to check a price, or use one-click access to scan items you want to buy or sell back. Amazon’s convenient trade-in program can turn your books, games, movies, and electronics into Amazon Gift Cards. Plus, join Amazon Student to get FREE Two-Day Shipping for six months with Amazon Prime shipping benefits!”
This app is great for quick price checks at your college’s bookstore, and Amazon Student can also be used for selling your books online.
Like all Amazon apps, Amazon Student is simple and easy to use. It’s a must download for college students that need to buy books for the upcoming semester.
Download Amazon Student for free in the App Store.
