Read It Swap It: Love It!

Advantages: Huge library of books, lots of users, easy to use
Disadvantages: I suppose some dishonest people but they are rare on here

...'t a regular thing. I think if a user gets lots of low feedback about this, the RISI admin block this user. You can also report members for abuse of the site. But 99% of the people are great swappers, who send you great books quickly, and are such nice people. I always get a sticky note on the front saying they hope I enjoy the book, or something similar, such a nice touch but it makes using the site all the more enjoyable! If you love books, want to save yourself a few pennies, then RISI is the place for you! URL: www.readitswapit.co.uk I hope my review has been helpful, thanks for reading!...

Pass it on

Advantages: a good way of passing on unwanted books
Disadvantages: it's always going to have a trust issue attached like anything else on the internet

...I was alerted to this site by another Ciao member, and I'm thankful he steered me in this direction. I usually get my books from the library or Greenmtropolis, or Ebay. Rarely do I buy them new, but my bookshelves have been straining under the weight recently. Rather than sell them 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. There are no annoying graphics cluttering up the screen. Everything is in a shade of blue and white, and seems to run very smoothly and quickly between pages, which is probably due to the lack of jargon. The site saves your email address at your request making logging in easier. *How does it work?* Well first of all you will need to register with the site...

Swop shop at its very best!

Advantages: Swop your old unwanted books for new ones you do want!
Disadvantages: May have to request several swops before a swop is accepted

...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 is fantastic and will save you so much on buying the latest books and introduce you to books you may not have chosen. Along the top of the web page are various categories: *~*The Library*~* This section contains all the books that are listed for swapping and here is where you can browse for a book you would like to read. *~*My Books*~* This is where you list all of your books...

...I have recently discovered this fantastic website 'Read It Swap It' and I am already hooked! The function of this website is to swap used books with others for their used books, and all for FREE (well you do have to pay for postage) this is a fabulous idea and very useful indeed!

The top tool bar is set out with the following links: The Library My Books My Swaps My Details Forums Help Login Logout My Experience: I only signed up to this website last week and I have already added 28 books for swapping, the more books you can add the more swaps you are likely to get. I have had 4 completed swaps so far...

Why Shop for it? Amazon.co.uk it!

Advantages: Reliable, Wide selection of goods
Disadvantages: Free Delivery only on orders over £19

...the order wothout any hassle. All orders have free delivery over £15, but that can sometimes take upto 5 days t be delivered. You can however pay for 1st class delivery, and recive it in 1-2 days.

Read it, swap it, love it

Advantages: Huge range of books, easy to use
Disadvantages: Can get frustrating when people refuse your swap

...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! You sign up and list the books that you dont want anymore, which is a quick and easy process. There are thousands of books and you can search by your favourite author, or the title of a book you saw someone reading on the number 6 bus, or use the recommendations the site magically finds for you by going on your previous ratings for a book, or just aimlessly browse the 'latest in' section or by categories. Once you have seen the book you want, the site shows you people who have that...

Amazon.co.uk

Advantages: Wide Range, Cheap, Quick Delivery
Disadvantages: Cheap Looking Site

...I've only quite recently begun shopping with Amazon, the main reason being receiving vouchers from survey sites and from on here. It's now one of the first sites I look at when making a purchase. ~~~ Products ~~~ Amazon.co.uk stocks a massive variety of products. So far everything I have searched for has been available to buy on the site, although most of the things have been quite common like DVD's and games. I can't think of anywhere that stocks as much stuff as Amazon, maybe not even Ebay. ~~~ Prices ~~~ The prices on Amazon are very competitive and are usually the cheapest place to but DVD's and games, again being usually cheaper than Ebay, I have no doubt that this is the case for many other products. The main down side is that cash back sites don't offer cash back for Amazon, or am I on the wrong cash back site...

Amazon.co.uk

Advantages: Wide choice and easy to use
Disadvantages: Wishlists disappear

...I am sure there is no one here who would not know what Amazon.co.uk is, but, on the off chance... Amazon.co.uk is a website that started originally as an online book store. Now over the years it has grown and developed to sell a whole range of items. Including, Electrics, DVD's, CD's, Appliances, Toys, Games and many more. Layout and Navigation ---------------------------- Amazon.co .uk has an orange/blue and white theme throughout; it's clear and well laid out. There is a search bar at the top of the page to type in what it is you're looking for. You can narrow this down by category. One feature I really like about Amazon is the suggestions that appear on screen, you can see what other people who brought the product you are viewing also looked at, so if you have similar tastes, might show you a great product to go with what...

Amazon.co.uk Marketplace

Advantages: Earns money for your unwanted items

...~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ What is Amazon? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Amazon.co.uk is a website where you purchase literally anything.
