Read It Swap It

Posted by alex on July 6th, 2006

If, like me, you like to read, you’ll know how expensive books can become. I get through perhaps 5-10 books a year which means I probably spend about £50-£70 a year on books. Once I’m finished they just find their place on my bookshelf.

That was until I discovered ReadItSwapIt which is a free service that allows you to swap your books for books that other members of the site have. You just have to upload a list of books you want to swap along with a description of their condition, make a request to swap with another member and if that person likes the look of one of your books, you proceed with the swap.

This is a great way to recycle books and get the most out of them while also saving money on your new books. Another great use of power of the internet.
