bookcircus.com, an affordable online alternative for buying and selling textbooks, announced today the launch of its iPhone application. Available today, bookcircus.com for iPhone allows students to find buyback prices on books they wish to sell, and sell them back immediately via their iPhone.

In preparation for the fall semester buyback season, bookcircus.com has launched bookcircus.com for iPhone featuring an easy to use interface allowing speedier sellbacks. bookcircus.com for iPhone was developed for college students who are ready to graduate to a more convenient method of selling back textbooks than bookstores offer.

bookcircus.com for iPhone is easy to use. Simply, enter the ISBN or title of the book and instantly see how much bookcircus.com will pay to buy back that edition. Then, confirm the titles to be sold and shipped and bookcircus.com will provide a printable packing slip for free shipping and instructions for mailing, all over email.

"We are excited to improve the speed and ease of book sellbacks for college students. With bookcircus.com for iPhone students can sell back books from any location," said Park Anders, President and CEO of Budgetext, parent company of bookcircus.com. "Now students with iPhones can enjoy the convenience of a mobile bookstore instead of waiting in line at on-campus buybacks."

bookcircus.com is an online provider of new textbooks, used textbooks, study aids, reference materials, classic literature, and bestselling novels. Students can buy used textbooks as well as sell back books they are no longer using via the online site.
