Real reviews from students who bought and sold books on BetterBooks.
“The books are like brand new and I appreciate BetterBooks & Phodu Club for taking this initiative. I got the books for a really good price — the senior who sold me this book was also really nice. Everyone should trust this app. It's the best place to get second hand books.”
“Really happy with my experience on BetterBooks by Phodu Club! Got a great deal on second-hand books. The website is easy to navigate and the pricing is very reasonable. It has got a reasonably good amount of books on sale. I would definitely recommend it to fellow JEE aspirants looking for affordable books for their preparation. I got all the books for my JEE prep that I supposed I will be needing in just a mere ₹1,000. Thanking Phodu Club again for this great initiative!”
“My tutor told me about BetterBooks. I got an inorganic chemistry book through BetterBooks. Initially I was worried as I had to talk to seller and pay them directly. But everything worked out well. I will highly recommend it.”
“Absolutely loved my experience! The books were well-maintained and reasonably priced. It's wonderful to see Phodu Club making reading more accessible and sustainable. The people are also really sweet and helpful. Highly recommended for fellow book lovers!”
“My experience with BetterBooks has been good. The platform makes it easy to list and find books at affordable and reasonable prices. Customer support was responsive and the concept of reusing books is very helpful for students. It's a great initiative with a lot of potential.”
