Other online textbook retailers offer limited titles and formats, require full semester rentals and restrict highlighting and note-taking. But Skyo is built for the way students want to purchase their textbooks, with a variety of flexible options to ensure students don't have to compromise.

"Buying textbooks shouldn't be the hard part of earning your degree," said Noel Burkman, Director of eCommerce for Skyo.com. "Skyo was built with the student in mind, with options like flexible textbook rental periods and the ability to write and highlight in textbooks. Skyo makes it easy for students to purchase affordable textbooks."

Skyo delivers:

• The best prices: Skyo works tirelessly to get students the best deals. Though prices can change daily, over the past six months, Skyo's rental prices have averaged 10 percent lower than other textbook rental websites. And, Skyo doesn't tack on extra expenses – standard shipping is always free to all 50 states for purchases and returns.
• More flexibility: Skyo offers students more than five million textbook titles, in a variety of format options, including new, used, rental and digital. Skyo recently added thousands of digital titles to give students even more options to save. The site also offers flexible textbook rental periods to make it easy for students to extend their rentals.
• A simple shopping experience: Skyo is an easy-to-use and easy-to-understand shopping experience. Students have the freedom to write and highlight in rented textbooks (within normal wear and tear associated with course work), and can have their cheap textbooks shipped directly to their doorstep.
