I enjoy my BookSwim account - I use it to get new releases (my library has a multi-week wait list). It works like netflix in the sense that there are no due dates or late fees and delivery costs are free. Rebecca - do you ever read a book that you didn't want to keep in the end? I find that most James Patterson or Janet Evanovich books are one-time reads for me.
I cannot imagine renting books, is there a time limit when they must be returned? If so, what would be the advantage over a public library? I live in a small town with a small library, but they have excellent interlibrary loan systems. I feel like I rent books when I buy them at the used-book store and sell them back when I'm done, but there is no time limit and return is completely optional.
I work at the library so paying money to get books is heresy, but my friend is looking into this. Does it seem a little pricey? How do you like it?
