Online books retailer Amazon.com, Inc., US, has announced the free Amazon Student application for iPhone and iPod Touch that offers students an easy way to shop for textbooks, electronics, apparel and more. Students can compare prices, buy textbooks, or trade in textbooks for up to 70 percent back, all from their mobile device. With this new free app, signing up for the Amazon Student programme, which gives college students access to FREE Two-Day shipping and exclusive deals, is simple.
Students can now compare textbook prices on this semester's syllabus right from the college bookstore simply by scanning a barcode. And when it's time to sell back textbooks, the app can turn used books - and millions of other eligible electronics, video games, DVDs and more - into Amazon.com gift cards. Students scan the items they no longer need, ship eligible items for free, and get an Amazon.com Gift Card to spend on millions of items at Amazon.com. Nearly 1 million textbooks are eligible for Textbook Buyback and students can get up to 70 percent back.
In addition, the app also allows students to join the Amazon Student programme, which offers college students free two-day shipping on millions of eligible products, from laptops and video games to toasters and TVs. Amazon Student for iPhone and iPod Touch is available for free in the Apple App Store or at http://www.itunes.com/appstore.
