u:book is saying goodbye
Thank you for your loyalty and 18 years together!

The u:book service will be discontinued in January 2026. There will be no further sales periods. A careful analysis has shown that the framework conditions have changed significantly in recent years. Many hardware manufacturers and retailers now offer their own attractive educational discounts. This gives students and employees at tertiary educational institutions reliable access to particularly discounted hardware, even without an initiative such as u:book. The original added value of u:book is therefore no longer available in this form.

The University of Vienna would like to express its sincere thanks to all u:book users and partners for 18 years of trust and loyalty.

In order to provide our users with the best possible support during the transition phase, an overview of alternative hardware offers is provided on the u:book web page.
