Inexpensive or Free Books

I love books.  Although e-books are gaining more popularity by the day, I find that it is more expensive to purchase the books I want in this format.  In addition, I still prefer the feel of a real book with real ink and paper in my hands.

Check out these two websites:

PAPERBACK SWAP: When you set up an account at this website, you can swap paperback, hardback or audio books with other members.  When I say swap, I mean FREE!  You earn book credits by posting and swapping your books.  In turn, you use those credits to "order" books from other members.  If someone "orders" one of the books you've posted, you are expected to pay the shipping, but the website has a cool feature where you can print the packaging materials right there.  Check out this link to see how Paperback Swap works, or watch this quick video:

DEALOZ: If you can't find what you're looking for at Paperback Swap, visit DealOz.  This website does a huge amount of bargain hunting for you in a matter of seconds.  Once you enter the name of the book or video you want, it searches the internet to find where you can purchase it.  You will be given a chart with the name of the seller/website, the cost for the item, the price for shipping, any available discounts or coupons, and a final cost, pointing you to the best price.  From there, you can select the seller that most interests you and you are directed to that seller's website.  Transactions do not take place on DealOz.
