SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 3, 2009-- Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN) today announced the new Textbooks Trade-In program, which allows customers to exchange used textbooks in return for an Amazon.com gift card. Available year-round, the Textbooks Trade-In program will offer students the ability to trade in textbooks they no longer need for a great price. For more information about the Textbooks Trade-In program, visit: http://www.amazon.com/tradeinbooks.
Textbooks Trade-In offers great trade-in prices and a wide selection of eligible titles. Not only is it easy to use, but students can avoid long lines at the bookstore and trade in their textbooks from their dorm rooms or from home. Students just visit www.amazon.com/tradeinbooks, and search for the books they want to trade. Then students can print a pre-paid shipping label and drop the package in the mail. Once the book is received and verified by a third-party merchant, an Amazon.com gift card will be deposited into the student’s Amazon.com account. This gift card can be used toward the purchase of next semester’s books, or the millions of other items on Amazon.com. Already popular with used DVDs and video games, Textbooks Trade-In is the third program of its kind on Amazon.com.
“We’re thrilled to add the trade-in feature to the Amazon.com Textbooks store,” said Julie Todaro, director of Books at Amazon.com. “Our student customers know they can rely on Amazon.com for a great selection of titles and low textbook prices, and we’re happy to be able to offer them another service to help them save money and time.”
The Amazon.com Textbooks store (www.amazon.com/textbooks) helps students manage the high cost of textbooks by offering savings of up to 30 percent off the list price of more than 100,000 new textbooks and up to 90 percent off the list price of millions of used textbooks.
