Press Release Body: Westin, Fl. October 29, 2008 -- It has only been a couple of
weeks since college students returned to their schools, and for many of them their
funds are already running dry thanks to overpriced textbooks their coursework
demands. Skoobit has finally found a way to put a stop to this trend, and put much
of that money back into the pockets of the students who need it most by offering a
new rental system for text books.

Students are spending an average of $300-$400 per semester on textbooks, so Skoobit
has created a way to save students hundreds of dollars, by offering a rental system
similar to the one students use for renting movies. For too many years textbook
publishers have raised book prices at the expense of students across the nation, and
with little competition, these price raises have gone unchecked.

Skoobit provides a great solution for students who want a new way to save money.
Skoobit's website, www.skoobit.com, is very user friendly, making sure to guide
students every step of the way. Skoobit provides a variety of different plans, with
the most popular plan being $10.99 a month per book. Skoobit will also provide FREE
shipping and handling for both renting and returning of the textbooks. Skoobit's
services, in some cases, can help students rent every text book they need for around
the cost of purchasing just one of their overpriced books.

"Last week I had the opportunity to speak with some college students, and I was
amazed by how much money they were spending on textbooks, its crazy," said
Christopher Blythe creator of Skoobit. "I am so excited to introduce students to
Skoobit because I feel that they will finally be able to save so much money that
they could spend in better ways," added Christopher.
