Future of E-Commerce

Target was recently sued by an organization that advocates for blind people. According to the lawsuit, Target's website was not properly equipped for blind people. Therefore, they had to settle with the group for 6 million dollars. We realize here at sKoolBoY that we may come under scrutiny as well for this type of lawsuit and will try to be more accessible to our blind users.

Congratulations Barack Obama!

The staff of sKoolBoY.com would like to congratulate Barack Obama for becoming the first African-American nominated to be President of the United States of a major political party, Democrats. We would also like to say Go Obama! Yes, We Can. Everybody needs to vote on Nov.4, If you do not vote, you cannot complain. Vote!

Rate Your Professor- Very Important

We here at sKoolBoY recommend that you check all of your teachers out on ratemyprofessor.com. It is a great website for checking out your teachers before choosing your class schedule. It can mean the difference between straight A's or grades that are all over the place. Don't gamble with your GPA. You don't want to look back and say "Man!, I should have switched out of that class earlier." Some of the staff members feel your pain, especially Progressive Florida. We had a class together at ??? and that teacher was horrible, if we had just switched we would have ended up with at least a B and not a C which was the grade for over 60% of that class. Be smart and check out ratemyprofessor.com today before the deadline to add/drop a course passes.

Internation Edition Textbooks- Cheaper and Softer

We are always trying to improve the price of the books sold on our website and we are investigating international edition textbooks which are essentially the same as the U.S version except that it is mostly printed in black and white and may lack some supplemental information. Still, if students can save 50% or more on their books, we will try our best to offer books at these low prices. In addition, the international edition is usually a soft cover which makes it lighter to carry around as well. We must note that shipping will cost more to obtain an international edition, but the total price will still be less than what you would normally pay full price for a new U.S edition. In the end, it is worth your time to check and see if the international edition is available for a particular book you are looking to purchase.

Digital Textbooks: New Frontier?

Are digital textbooks going to replace traditional textbooks? So far, it seems that paper is here to stay but maybe there will be a transition in the long term. At Skoolboy, we were thinking about including a category just for electronic textbooks. Electronic textbooks are good but they require having a computer or some sort of device to open the file and read it. It is more convenient to use electronic text since you do not have to carry it around. The reason why Electronic textbooks have not become mainstream has to do with file sharing and the textbook or book industry would suffer if all books went digital because that would lead to piracy and people would get their textbooks for free on some BitTorrent file sharing website. Education should be free but that's not how big business sees it. Regardless, we will continue to monitor the situation and continue to make future posts about this topic. In the meantime, here is a website that offers electronic text for textbooks.
