For those of you who read for distraction, this is a great web site. You trade books, cd's or even movies with other people. You only pay shipping on your books when you send and if you request a book, they pay the shipping to send their book to you. Another great feature is that if you can't get out to the post office, for a very small fee, you can print your shipping label right off their web site and mail the book. You also don't have to have any special packaging....just use your computer paper and some tape.
I love it, just wanted to share.

I would love this Dixie, but it probably doesn't work in Canada cause the shipping is a lot more. Maybe there is a Canadian site. I'll search around for it.
I love the idea of swapping books.

I have a Kindle. No more books. No more shipping charges. Order and book and read it seconds later.

i go both ways, sunny! i am spoiled by my kindle app and only buy free books especially for lying in bed at night when i wake up, so i don't need a reading light, but still love real books. and my aunt who doesn't drive loves to read, so i can share these with her.
what a funny group who'd never have met if not for pain and DS!

deleted_user 02/20/2012

So, so true serenity! I would love for us all to meet in person some day!

Sunny, I don't know why but I just love having my books in paper...I enjoy just looking at them on my bookshelf.
