Act Now - Cancel Anytime!

Many of us keep up with the latest in film and addictive television programming with Netflix. Some may take collective use a little further with handbag selections. This week, I discovered another intriguing opportunity in the wide world of rentals: books. Bookswim allows subscribed users to rent books for a monthly fee beginning at $23.95 for three books at one time. There are no deadlines to reading unless self-applied (over-achievers) or demanded by your book club (procrastinators). No additional shipping fees apply so feel free to order those really heavy books that you have been so desperate to have. Options include paperbacks and hardbacks. A simple search also led me to Booksfree which shares their "how it works" graphics with Netflix (I would suggest a little differentiation here). Booksfree targets paperbacks as well as some audio with a price point that is cheaper than Bookswim. With Booksfree, one also has the option for monthly, semi-annual, and annual memberships (just like your gym).
