Free Books -- Swap 'Em!
A couple of months ago I blogged about Zunafish, a website where you can sign up and trade stuff -- CDs, books, DVDs, games, etc. -- with other people all over the world. It turns out there are quite a few of these kinds of sites, some specifically for books and others more like Zunafish, letting you trade other things.
PaperBackSwap.com -- you got it, they deal strictly in books, and they're US-only. But unlike Zunafish, they don't charge anything.
Title Trader -- books, DVDs, VHS, CDs, games and more. And it's free. And it's international; they automatically filter out items offered by people who don't want to mail them to your country.
BookMooch -- all books, all the time. It's free, it's international, and they've even got a toolbar. Have you got your own toolbar?
Swap a CD -- from the people who brought your PaperBackSwap. Same idea, but with CDs. Oh, and it's not free. They charge $0.49 per swap.
I don't buy a huge number of DVDs and CDs, and the ones I buy I usually want to hang on to. The same is true for books, but not as much. I'd probably be very happy to trade away at least 10% of the books on my shelves right now. I think I might have to give one (or more) of these services a try.
