Advantages: Saves space, cheap books, easy to use website Disadvantages: You can find yourself getting more books than you could possibly read
When I was little I never wanted to read books, even in primary school I always hated the fact that there was a dedicated time in the day that we had to sit down and read a book of our choice. It never got any better in secondary school and I would never read a book out of choice. Up to when I was 20 I probably read about 5 proper books, and by that I mean something that doesn't have some sort of 'A is for Apple' simplicity to it, I know that doesn't ... ...year I have started to read books in work, I work nightshift and get two 20 minute breaks and a 45 minute one, I use to read newspapers or listen to my ipod. I started reading a book whilst on holiday and didn't get round to finishing it, so I took it to work with me. Since then I haven't stopped and have been buying books regularly, Our local library doesn't have the biggest selection of books so I looked online for a alternative, and I came across ...

Advantages: Recycle your books Disadvantages: needs a seperate listing for audio books
...What it is it?
readitswapit.co.uk is exactly what the title suggests. People sign up and once they are members they can list all the books they have to swap and browse the books other members are swapping. Once a swap is requested and both parties have agreed to it, you will then be sent the address to send there book to and vise versa. It's so very easy and is only available to UK residents.The actual site is very plain and not very eyecatching ... ...regularly search for them on readitswapit.co.uk and have managed to get a few of my top picks. I've never had a problem with a swap yet but I think the site would only really be useful to genuine members with a shared love of reading and can't imagine many people scamming others for 2nd hand books. My only problem is that it doesn't have a seperate section for audio books as I think some members would find this useful so they can find the title and ...

Advantages: Cheapo way to get books. Disadvantages: You do not clear your shelves
Just to prove that review sites do actually work the only reason I became a fan of this website and an occasional user of its services is because of a fellow member writing a review of it.
Readitswapit is a great little website which allows members to make available the books they have read and to swap them with other members. Membership of the site is completely free and the only cost that you incur when swapping a book is the cost of post and ... ...rotating your books and discovering new authors as well as having a benefit to the environment as in a small way it will cut down on the number of new books produced. You might think that the book world would be against such a site as it reduces the sales and hence the royalties for authors however if the claims on the website are to believed the industry is not quite up in arms, part of the rationale is that sites like this help promote reading ...
