It's like netflix for paperbacks. I'm on the lowest plan, 2 books at a time for about $10 or so a month, and I manage about 2 shipments a month. The turn around is a bit slow due to media mail (almost a week), but it still works out to about $2.50 a book, and the selection is WAY better than my local libraries.

I'm very much liking it. Anyone else partake? I know there's another site that does this, but I forget what it's called.

Noooo, two books out at a TIMMMME. I usually get 2 - 3 shipments, so it's more like 4 or 6 books a month, plus the ones I buy. :wink:

Unfortunatly. I think they mean that since you're saving so much money, eventually it works out to getting the books for like, free? Cause well, $10 barely buys you one book these days, so getting 4 is a plus. And I'm kinda out of room to keep all those books once I'm done reading them. If I DO read one that I like so much I want to keep it, I can buy it from the site super-discounted.
