    BookSwim.com - Online Book Rental

    bookswim

    Do you love reading books? Can't afford it because books are just too expensive? BookSwim.com might help you change that. BookSwim.com is an online book rental library club. A common bestselller would cost around $20 dollars. But with bookswim.com you can rent the books, read them and then change them for others!!! So users can read many books and pay far mor less. Another very cool feature of this website is that users end up reading books of unknown authors, so it gives them a chance to know new authors, that they couldn't afford to because books are simply too expensive! BookSwim.com has over 150,000 books so it is a very cool place to rent books!

    In their own words

    "BookSwim is the first online BOOK RENTAL LIBRARY CLUB lending you paperbacks and hardcovers directly to your house WITHOUT THE NEED TO PURCHASE! Whether it's New Releases, Bestsellers, or Classics, we've got 150,000 titles to choose from, with FREE SHIPPING BOTH WAYS! Read your books as long as you want. -- no late fees! Even choose to purchase and keep the titles you love!"

    Why it might be a killer

    The price of buying books is considerably high and by spreading those costs out over multiple people, the savings can be given back to the readers. Book rental also allows for unpopular authors to have their books read when the readers have nothing to lose.

    Some questions

    Books deteriorate very rapidly, how is this website going to put up with that? How are readers supposed to find this website? How much time does it take for a user to receive the book after he has asked for it?

    Updates

    To answer some of the questions above, after signing up if books are in stock, they'll get shipped out the next day through USPS Priority mail. You're likely to receive your first shipment in 2-3 days. Back and forth sending thereafter is through USPS Media Mail and takes longer, but we give members many books per shipment to hold onto while others are shipping. Books that get damaged beyond a reasonable quality are no longer rented out, but normal usage of books can last through 20 to 30 rentals and by that time have already made a significant profit from the individual book.
