If you've been around these parts for very long, you know that I love books. And I love hip ideas that pop up on the internet. And things that are green. Put all of those together and you get PaperBackSwap.
Think of it as kind of a Netflix for books, only it's essentially free. You register at least nine books with the site. When someone requests one of your books, you mail it to them and pay the postage. You then receive a credit towards getting a book from someone else. When they mail it to you, they pay the postage. And, for now at least, there are no fees to pay.
I'm signing up as we speak. Look for a review in the near future...

I just signed on this week and BAM! Seven of my nine books were requested within minutes. I wasn't expecting such a quick turn around.
I've requested 3 books already.
I'm loving the site. Thanks for the tip. ;)

Wow! One of the things I really miss having hear in NY is a used book store. Not even a half priced books. So now I have a huge collection of books in my closet. (This does not count the books already on various bookshelves throughout my apartment.) I may give this a try.
