At first I thought this is just crazy. Then, I thought about it for a while, and realized, that BookSwim is brilliant.
BookSwim describes themselves as Netflix for books.
Basically, it is an online book rental library service that lends best sellers, hardcovers, softcovers and text books. There are several different plans to choose from. The facts are these: you find books you want to read, you put them into a queue, they ship the book to your house without any extra shipping charges, then you read the book and you send it back to BookSwim in a FREE PREPAID MAILER!!!
So now you are saying... I can just go to the library or the book store. To that I say that the Library does not always have the book that you want to read right then and there. The Library does not let you keep books as long as you desire. With BookSwim, you can get the book that you WANT immediately without having to wait on the waiting list with everyone else. Best of all.... NO MORE LATE FEES. It seems that any book I want is usually in high demand, therefore, I am not permitted to renew it. Sometimes 14 days is just not enough time to read a book.
Just check it out. The price of one month is the price of one purchased book. Look at it this way, if we all decided to "recycle" books, then so many trees would not have to be cut down.
