Online libraries

Looking for a new read without going through your local library? Or want to avoid “the man” and/or your local bookstores? Try Swaptree.

Pretty cool site from the looks of things. Share the books you want to trade, mark the books you want and let the system find a match. You can trade books, music and DVDs.

I added 16 books to my “have list” and it matched me up with 266 possible trades. Didn’t see anything particular I wanted, but I didn’t offer up any of my “better” books either.

Could turn into something really cool though. I’m wondering if there are similar sites for clothes, furniture, toys etc. I’ll be on the lookout.
