Acadreamia's Blog

This is a question which we get asked all the time – one with a pretty simple answer. As students, we have experienced the financial problems that plague them throughout university life. Textbooks have always been a problem for students. They’re over priced in the union bookshops, out of stock in the library, and new editions come out all the time. So we thought to ourselves, what can we do to make it so that future students don’t have to go through the problems we do – and that’s when Acadreamia was born.

Buying textbooks is such a hassle for students. Even sites which claim to sell cheap used textbooks to students still charge obscene prices. To make things worse, when you come to try and sell your textbooks, they are out of date and nobody wants them, or you will only get paid around 10% of what you paid. By renting textbooks to students @Acadreamia. students can save hundreds of pounds throughout their degree.

Since we still own the books before, during and after they are rented, we are able to re-rent them to other students. Because we have the ability to do this, we can offer prices lower than any other bookseller. We pride ourselves on being the first online textbook rental service in the UK and offering the lowest prices possible.

So to answer the original question, we started renting textbook to save students money and make their life a bit easier offering real savings rather than just claiming to sell cheap and used textbooks.
