BookPlex Offers Students an Alternative to High Priced Textbooks at the Campus Bookstore

February 1, 2011 By Leave a Comment

(PRWEB) February 21, 2005

Research shows that nearly 40% of college students are having serious difficulty, or are unable to pay for the cost of college tuition and books. BookPlex is a service created by Danken, Inc. to offer college students a means to buy and sell textbooks. BookPlex is a way for students to save money on college textbooks by letting them buy, sell, or auction them at their own prices.

As of now book prices, including campus bookstores, are regulated mainly by Barnes & Noble. The selling price of new and used books, as well as the buy back value of used books is a set price, or percentage pre-determined by Barnes and Noble. That pre-determined price is about 50% of their retail value.

With BookPlex, students wishing to sell books pay a fee of 5.00 per semester to list up to 10 of their used books at their prices. If the students sell them at what we calculate to be 62.5% of retail it is a win / win for both seller and buyer of the books. Students have the option of selling their book at a Fixed Price, or sell it to the highest bidder at Auction. This offers students choices in how they want to sell their books.

Students not wishing to sell books at BookPlex can use the service for free. Users are able to Browse, Search, Bid, and Buy books without paying a fee.

About Us: BookPlex was created by Dan Blasi of Bristol, CT and Ken Perry of Suffolk , VA.

Secure-eBook Makes Publishing and Selling eBooks on the Internet Easy for Any Authors and Publishers

January 24, 2011 By Leave a Comment


Laval, Quebec (PRWEB) November 20, 2008

Before the latest update, Secure-eBook (http://www.secure-ebook.com) has been focussing on the protection of PDF files sold as eBooks with its eBook Activation process. With the eBook Activation protection method, every eBooks in PDF format have to be packaged into a protected file format.

Secure-eBook also manages all the eBooks’ purchase process for its clients — authors and publishers only have a few easy configurations to achieve in order to quickly be ready to sell their eBooks. Through all the additions made since its release, Secure-eBook now works with many industry leaders such as PayPal, 2CheckOut, Authorize.net, 1ShoppingCart, ClickBank, etc.

“While our clients were growing in numbers, we received many requests to be able to take advantage of the Secure-eBook automated purchase process without having to change the eBook format,” said Alain Thibault, Novisoft co-owner.

To answer its clients’ requests, Secure-eBook now offers Secured Download as an alternative to eBook Activation. Instead of protecting an eBook itself, this new method protects the link used to download the eBook after a purchase. eBooks authors and publishers can now benefit from the Secure-eBook automated purchase process, fully managed by Secure-eBook, without having to package their eBooks into a secured format.

“Authors and publishers can now publish their eBooks in any format with Secure-eBook,” said Alain Thibault.

Secure-eBook works perfectly with many 3rd party systems. But some of them, such as PayPal Shopping Cart and ClickBank, do not offer a way to protect the link used by a client to download the eBook they just have purchased. By using Secure-eBook with these 3rd party systems, authors and publishers can reduce the chances of having people illegally download their eBooks.

“Authors and publishers selling eBooks online should consider Secure-eBook as a minimum requirement to publish their eBooks successfully on the Internet,” said Alain Thibault. “Anyone using systems such as PayPal Shopping Cart or ClickBank should consider Secure-eBook as a requirement to deliver eBooks to their customers.”

The new Secured Download method is now available with Secure-eBook. To get more information about this new method for selling eBooks, visit the official page on the Secure-eBook Web site at http://www.secure-ebook.com/ebook_security_download.jsp.

New Book For Gaming Console Fans, “The Bible vs. The X-Station,” Released

January 22, 2011 By Leave a Comment

(PRWEB) July 15, 2005

This comic book shaped book is mainly focused on kids, teens and young adults who have allowed the XBOX to become their god. In today’s world when there are many school shootings by kids who have spent hours after hours playing video games and lacking in true friendships, a book such as this can be a blessing for some households. As wide as the XBOX and PlayStation market is, I believe that the appeal to this book shaped as a comic book should be as great. It can also be used by churches to reach youth groups, teen centers, etc… to lead them into a right relationship with Jesus Christ. This well written book also can be used to the husband who is as addicted to the gaming consoles and have robbed his family of good family quality time.
