Amazon has announced that the free Amazon Student app, released for iPhone earlier this year, is now available for Android. College students with Android devices now have a convenient and easy way to shop for holiday gifts, get free 2 Day shipping, and trade in used textbooks for Amazon Gift Cards, all within one mobile app.
With this new free app, it’s easy to sign up for Amazon Student, which offers college students FREE Two-Day shipping on millions of eligible products, from dorm essentials to holiday gifts. Amazon Student members also get access to exclusive deals.
Just in time for holiday shopping, students can trade in used textbooks—and other eligible items like video games, DVDs, electronics and more—for up to 70 percent back. Hundreds of thousands of textbooks are eligible to trade in. In last year, Amazon Student members traded in enough books to reach the top of Mount Everest, twice. Trading in is easy with the Amazon Student app. Students scan the items they no longer need, ship eligible items for free, and get an Amazon.com Gift Card, which can be used towards millions of eligible items, including holiday gifts for friends and family.
Also, from now until December 15, 2011 you can use the Amazon Student app to enter for a chance to win a $1,000 Amazon.com Gift Card in the Trade In to Win Sweepstakes! No purchase is necessary to enter.
The Amazon Student app includes access to features customers have come to know and trust, including customer reviews, detailed product information, sharing via e-mail, Facebook, text-message, and Twitter, and purchasing via Amazon Prime, for delivery directly to a dorm or doorstep.
