Most Book readers are hard-pressed to find the time, or a convenient place that provides access to a wide selection of Books, said Ron McBride, USLINX.com president and CEO. With a huge selection of Books, all of which are available for a rental or for sale, NetBookz promises readers the ultimate in Book shopping.



NetBookz, which currently stocks more than 4000 Book titles in its Read More Store, some of which are available on eBay at its store there http://stores.ebay.com/USLINX-LoMart-Store is committed to offering virtually every Book available. Furthermore, NetBookz has hundreds of copies of the most popular Previously-read Books, Audio Books and eBooks titles, including New Releases, virtually guaranteeing that NetBookz customers get the Book they want, when they want it.



NetBookz will offer same-day shipping with customers receiving their Previously-read Books, Audio Books in about three days (eBooks will be received the same day), anywhere in the United States. All rentals can be indefinitely. Once customers have enjoyed their Book rentals, they simply send them back to NetBookz.



McBride said, 's8220;We expect the store to be fully operational in the next 60 days's8221;.



The Perfect Book Every Time



The NetBookz online store at www.NetBookz.com will be designed to offer the convenience of home shopping with the efficiencies of an online store. The NetBookz store will offer informative content, easy to use site navigation and search capabilities, low-cost delivery methods and competitive pricing. In addition, the NetBookz store offers registered shoppers personalized merchandising and recommendations based on previous shopping sessions.



The NetBookz store includes a large, informative selection of Book-specific Book reviews, recommendations and articles to assist shoppers. In addition, the NetBookz store offers a variety of search and browse features that make finding everything from the classics to the newest releases as easy as clicking a button. With BookFind, shoppers can search by title, author or ISBN number and instantly see a corresponding list of Books. Clicking on any name in the list takes shoppers directly to BookFacts, where a Book synopsis, ratings and descriptions of unique Book features may help them make a decision. Shoppers who are unsure of the title they want to read can use the Check the Shelves feature to scan lists of Books grouped around a common element, such as theme or genre.



To select Books, shoppers simply click the Rent or Buy option for the Books of their choice. This adds each Book to their Shopping Cart and lets them continue shopping. Items can be added to or removed from the cart at any time.



Shoppers may also reserve Book titles that have been announced, but not released, by clicking on the Rent or Buy option for the desired title and adding it to their Shopping Cart. Reserved Books are shipped to customers on their corresponding release date, or street date, which is determined by the Book publishers.



Books Delivered To Your Door



NetBookz'ss in-home rental offers customers unsurpassed value with the first two Books available for $1.99 each and any number of additional titles on the same order for just $1 each. Rental reservations are $3 per title. Delivery is available anywhere in the United States.

Shoppers can conduct business with NetBookz with confidence since the Secure Checkout in the NetBookz store uses sophisticated encryption techniques to ensure that customer information is protected 100 percent. PayPal will also be offered.

Like It It'ss Yours! Program



The unique Like It Its Yours! program provides an easy, economical and risk-free method for customers to build a home library. After renting and enjoying a Book, customers may opt to keep the Book simply by notifying NetBookz by email. NetBookz subtracts the previously billed rental fee from the purchase price and bills the customer'ss credit card for the difference.



's8220;I expect that NetBookz's8217; offering a wide selection of Books for rent on a national basis will fill a critical need for Book enthusiasts and contribute to the market's8217;s further growth.'s8221; McBride said.



Consumers are entering a new digital era and will gradually be migrating towards higher quality entertainment delivered via the Internet, digital eBooks, said McBride. We expect heavy users of reading products to adopt technologies such as eBooks. The availability of a rental store on the Internet could speed the roll-out, especially in areas which don'st have stores offering a wide variety of Books currently. He went on to say that the company is researching a portable reader that is similar to the Apple Ipod.'s8221;
