We will have to see whether this kind of technical leadership converts into swift mass-market adoption or not.

In many cases, the end of the year gives you time to step back and take stock of the last 12 months. This is when many of us take a hard look at what worked and what did not, complete performance reviews, and formulate plans for the coming year.

BookRenter.com's Summer School Rental Periods Save Families and Students up to 75% on Textbooks
As the Spring Semester Ends, Students Look to Summer for Sun and Savings

CAMPBELL, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 05/27/09 -- BookRenter.com, the first online textbook rental service, today kicks off savings for summer. As students around the U.S. prepare for summer sessions, BookRenter offers flexible book rental periods, short enough to accommodate most schools' summer class schedules. The company has more rental period choices than any other textbook rental company and is best equipped to fit any university class calendar.

To help students save even more, BookRenter is now offering 5 percent off orders for the first 200 customers who use the coupon code "summer509." To redeem this coupon, enter summer509 at step 2 of checkout on BookRenter.com.

BookRenter's unique textbook rental service eliminates the need for students to fork over cash on books they only need for a short period of time. The user-friendly service helps budget-conscious students save money and spare the environment while getting their education.

BookRenter features a total of five rental periods and enables renters to extend their due date by 10, 30, 45, 60, or 90 days. Customers can also choose to keep their books by converting their rental to a purchase, which takes into consideration the price already paid for the rental.

"Buying textbooks for summer classes can be even costlier than those for semester or even quarter classes because of the shortened timeframe," said Colin Barceloux, CEO and Founder of BookRenter.com. "BookRenter's flexible rental periods ensure students have the books they need, for the time they need, at the best price point for their budget."
