Awesome Book Trading Site

all about practical, Budget-Conscious, reading three books at once, a bargain hunter, a sale shopper, a big reader

Pros

transfer credits between sister sites, easy to navigate, info. kept private, not just paperbacks, over a million books to choose from, audiobooks available too, free

This is a great site for people who love to read, but don't have a ton of money to spend on books. It is absolutely free to join, although there are options that cost money, but are strictly voluntary. When you sign up and post 10 books (hardback, paperback, or audiobooks) that you are willing to let go of, the site gives you 2 credits which you can use to request books from other members. You pay nothing when you request a book. When another member requests one of your books, you pay only the cost of postage (which is even available on their site). You get 1 credit for each book you send (audiobooks are worth 2 credits) and each book you request "costs" you 1 credit (again, 2 for audiobooks). Plus, if you join their sister site, SwapACD (DVD swapping site coming soon), you can transfer credits between sites. It's a great community and super-easy to use. I request books for myself, my hubby, and even my 10yo.
