Swap your used paperbacks
Paperbackswap.com is a site where you can swap out your used paper backs. When you are done with a book, list it on your account. When someone else wants it, you pay to ship it to them and receive credits to your account to use to get other members books. It is a good concept if you tend to read best sellers, but for not so popular books they will sit on your available shelf for quite a while. I signed up and got my signing bonus for listing 10 books, which I used to get a few older books I had been looking for. I also sent a few books, but lost interest when I decided I would have to store these books until someone else wanted them. It is better for me to just give them away rather than store them. There are over 1400 members swapping books so quite a few are available - usually multiple copies of popular books. Visit the Paperbackswap.com website to learn more about it.
