Pretty much everyone has heard of Netflix right? Well, what if there was a company that offered a similar service, but for books and audiotapes? Good news! There is a service that offers book lovers on-line book rentals.
The service is called Booksfree, and it offers it’s members a wide selection of books and audio tapes. They have everything from the latest best sellers to the classics. Members can select from over 88,000 audio and paperback titles, fiction and non-fiction, from over 35,200 authors.
Books are expensive to purchase, and we all have busy lives and sometimes don’t have time to visit the local library to take out new books to read. Why not start a membership with Booksfree and have the audio tapes or books that you’d like to read shipped to you free of charge?
Booksfree offers several membership plans. You could have anywhere from two to 12 books shipped to you at once for as little as $8.49 to $34.99 per month. All membership plans include free shipping both ways, unlimited rentals, no due dates, and of course no late fees.
When you sign up for a membership you can create a list of titles that you’d like to rent and they’ll automatically ship the number of titles that your membership allows you to rent. The remaining titles on your list will be shipped in a future order. Return your titles in the pre-paid shipping envelope and your next title choices will be sent to you. It’s that easy.
A Booksfree membership would be great for an avid reader, a family or even as a gift for a relative. Perhaps you have an older relative that can’t get out as much as they used to, maybe a Booksfree membership would make an ideal gift?
At this time this service is only available to residents of the United States and it’s territories. I’m hopeful that the service will be available to Canadians and perhaps other countries sometime in the near future.
Sounds cool but seems like a hefty price tag to pay for something that isn’t an life-saving convenience.
