Review of ReadItSwapIt.co.uk

ReadItSwapIt is, as the name suggests, an Internet book swapping site. The principle is simple: you list the books you have for sale, which become visible to other members; you can search books listed by other members. Once you find a book you would like, you can request a swap and if the member in question sees anything they want in your list, they indicate which book they want to swap and all that's left to do is packing and posting. Alternatively, ...
...and after perusing their collection, you can either indicate the title you want in return, or decline the swap (there is a number of ready-made reasons provided, from the obvious "I don't want to read any of their books" to "I am not ready to post now, but try soon"). There is a feedback system (and some safeguards against abuse, as limits on the number of swaps that can be requested at the same time depending on the feedback rating). The site ...

...year ago I came across ReadItSwapIt.co.uk when a friend online mentioned using it. The front page boldy asks me: "Bought a book and finished it? Don't know what to do with it? If you've read it swap it!" This totally summarises what this great website is all about. ReadItSwapIt.co.uk does exactly what the name of the site states. You read a book, put it on the site, then swap it for another book you haven't read. All it costs you is postage which ...

Adding books is very easily done, you simply type in the book's ISBN number (generally found above the barcode on the back of the book) then click on 'Get Book Details.' RISI will automatically find the book's author and title for you, if on the rare occasion ...

Spending endless hours a week on public transport to and from work can often get quite boring and tiresome especially if I am unlucky enough to hit rush hour traffic in London so the one thing I always ensure I have with me upon leaving the house is a book. Every month I find myself getting through between two and five books depending upon how good they are and this means that it is can be an expensive hobby when you think about the cost of books. ...

With people having less and less time to visit the library, it was only going to be a matter of time before an online library was going to be created and that is simply what "readitswapit" is, an online library where you just pay to post your book to your swapper. The website is of a simple design so it is easy for everyone to use and offers over 137242 books with more and more being added each day. It is free to join and free to be a member which ...

...only been a member of readitswapit.co.uk for a couple of weeks but I have to say I am impressed so far. I have had three swaps and am just about to send out my fourth. The worst that can happen is that someone won't send me a book when they promised to but they still get mine but as it only costs about £1.20 to send a book, then it's no big deal and I'd just leave the appropriate feedback. That kind of person would not last long on the site and as ...

It's a great way to test the works of authors unknown to you and, of course, recycling good reading matter. In short, I have no hesitation in recommending this site to you. ©Louise Saunders 2007 ...

Have you ever looked at the vast number of books, chained to your shelf, gathering dust, that you've read twice, thought about taking to a car boot sale but have never gotten round it to? Well I have quite a lot, but I can never bring myself round to binning them, even if I have no intention of reading them again. The read it, swap it site is a god send!

...all, as I realised on readitswapit.co.uk you can swop your unwanted / read books for new wanted / unread books. *The site* Quickly hop footing it over, I found the site to be very simplistic.

The site saves your email address at your request making ...

As for your real address, it needs to go on file otherwise no-one would know where to send the books should you swop them would they! That was simple enough. So once I've registered, how do I swap a book. I started off by reading the Questions. There isn't a lot to read here, but ...

As someone who loves reading and is always on the lookout for cheap books I was delighted to find Readitswapit - a website where you simply swap your unwanted books with other members.

Members upload their list of unwanted books, together with the book's ...

Books registered - now the fun starts. I registered seven books initially and had a look at some of the thousands of books available. I decided to wait and see before ...

Books are an expensive commodity these days, we all know that and if like myself, you are a bit of a collector, then your well stacked book shelves probably constitute and lifelong investment of many thousands of pounds. Even if you do manage to find a cheaper source for good conditioned second hand titles, the seller to compensate for the apparent bargain generally hikes up the postage and packaging costs. One of the other factors to collecting ...
