BooksFree.com: Rent books on line

If you're like me you love going to the library but just can't seem to get the books back on time and then end up having to pay a late fee.  We are living in a world where you can rent just about anything from cars and furniture to movies and video games.  The latest trend to hit the world wide web is renting books.

BookFree.com has more than 250,000 titles in paperback and audio books to choose from.  Per their web-site:  After signing up, browse the Web site and select titles you would like to read or listen to by clicking the red Add button. These titles are added to your list. We automatically ship the number of titles your membership plan allows. The remaining audio books on your list will be queued up for future orders. We recommend keeping at least 10-15 titles of each format on your list at all times for the greatest enjoyment. When you return titles you are finished with in the provided prepaid return mailer, we automatically ship your next available selection(s). In the event your next selection is unavailable, we'll ship the first available title(s) on your list in the priority added. If your list currently has no available titles on it, we'll order the first title(s) on your list from one of our distributors and ship your order the following business day (older titles have limited availability).

Orders are shipped 1 audio book per order and 2 or 3 paperbacks per order. Audio book are always sent to you in its entirety, regardless of the number of discs. Rotating multiple orders allows you to always have titles coming or going. This maximizes your ability to rent audio books and paperbacks. Audio books are shipped via First Class Mail (2-5 business days) and paperbacks are shipped Media Mail (3-10 business days). Combo memberships also have access to the Children's Books section.  To learn more about how BooksFree.com works, click here. 

Joining a club like this could be a great investment if you do a lot of unit studies or perhaps are part of a co-op where many people are trying to get the same books from the library all at the same time.  BooksFree.com has many different membership plans to choose from and they start as low as$10.99 a month and go up to $31.49 per month. 

Some things to take in to consideration before joining a club like this are if you are the type of family that enjoys purchasing and keeping a library in your home of books and resources that you have used or if you do not have the space for such things; Is this part of your school budget or are you okay with waiting for your books to come in to the library.  How much do you spend on late fees in an average month at the local public library?  No matter what type of person you are, BooksFree.com can be a good resource if it is what you are looking for.

With free shipping and no late fees, BooksFree.com can be compared to Netflix and how it rents movies.  The faster you read, the faster you get your next shipment of books.  One of the biggest perks to sites like this is that the books are delivered right to your door and some days, not having to make one more drive to one more store, is just plain worth it.
