Press Release Body: Weston, Fl. October 31, 2008- In the midst of the current
economic situation, Skoobit is offering students and parents a solution to the
financial stress related to high textbook prices. Scholarships, grants and other
college funding do not take into consideration out-of-control textbook costs. In
addition to price issues, bookstore hassles add to the frustration with long cashier
lines and possible book unavailability. Renting textbooks online from Skoobit will
eliminate all of that.

In its first semester available, customers have boasted savings of up to $400 by
taking advantage of renting textbooks online through Skoobit. A large selection of
textbooks is available to students for a variety of affordable rental plans, the
most popular plan being $10.99 a month per book. "I saved about $350 in one
semester by renting my books, and it only took about 15 minutes to register and find
the books I needed as opposed to searching for hours elsewhere online," said
Elizabeth Poma, a Business major at Schoolcraft College. "I will definitely
recommend Skoobit to my friends."

Not only is Skoobit a money-saver, it's also easy to use. All it takes is a quick
visit to www.skoobit.com where students can register to order. Christopher Blythe,
founder of Skoobit, wanted to be sure to create a user friendly way for students to
stop spending ridiculous amounts of money on textbooks. "I heard about Skoobit
through my cousin, and I registered soon after. It was pretty easy," said Zarana
Kathran, a Bryant University student who saved at least $80 per book.

During a time when prices for basic necessities seem to be rising daily, students
can use the savings from renting textbooks on other demands that are tugging at
their pockets, an opportunity that wasn't possible until Skoobit came along.
Savings of about $300 per semester over the course of 4 years can equal $3,200 which
can pay back a year's worth of student loans or contribute to graduate school costs.
"I couldn't believe how much money students were spending, especially when just the
cost of food and gas is enough of a burden," said Blythe. "Instead of buying
overpriced books at the campus store, hopefully they'll just Skoobit."
