Further considerations:- Buying used is the only way to acquire

cheaper course readers- Selling you will get a better offer than the

bookstore- No need to deal with shipping and you

can physically check out the books condition before deciding to buy it.

Integration into facebook makes acquiring early adopters and crossing the chasm much easier.

Using facebook integration means access to friends lists, allowing users to buy and sell to people they would feel comfortable interacting with.

There will be listings to cheapest options from other online stores available for all texts, thus making sure that people post a cheap and fair price.
