REVIEWS, Global – Here’s some quick questions.
Have a book addiction?
Need to get a textbook for school?
Want to sell read fiction or used textbooks?
Want to opt-out of consuming and then shelving books?
The BookMooch website (www.bookmooch.com) allows you to do these things.
How BookMooch works basically
Simply register, make a list of books you’d like to send, and a list of books you’d like to receive.
You get points for everyone you send, and use points for everyone you receive. You can also use points for charities.
The only money you pay is postage for books sent, money that is recouped as you do not pay postage for books you received.
A positive basic social change
Rather than selling unwanted books to stores or dealers, it’s a great way to ensure someone who really wants the book get’s it.
A basic, simple Web 2.0 idea, providing a basic service of positive benefit to the community.
And for those who wish to consume less, or have a guilty addiction to books, this is a also useful service.
Give it a try.
