Company announces prizes for its milestone customer

San Jose, CA August 11, 2008 -- BookRenter.com, steadily approaching 15,000 users, will reward its 15,000th customer with one year of free rentals, an Apple 3G iPhone or cash equivalent, and a $1,000 donation to the renter’s school scholarship fund to alleviate the high cost of new college books for other students.

The speed with which we reached our 15,000th customer attests to the market need of a book rental service and our ability to deliver what students want.”"

BookRenter.com emphasizes fast shipping options, book quality, and 75% savings with its five flexible rental periods that are suitable for any school term. With its growth and reliable service, the company sets the standard for performance in a still-new industry segment.

Once BookRenter.com reaches its 15,000th customer, the winner will be announced on the company's Newsroom page.
