    I have friends who use that site, and find it very good. Not a big reader myself (too busy on here :o ) but as I've heard that it works well I thought I'd just pass it on.
    :D I haven't bogged off yet, and I ain't no babe :D

  • It's a great site. I've swapped lots of books through it. I've only had one swap go wrong - the other person didn't send me a book in return. Apparently this one person had done this to lots of people. But, the admin sorted it out, the person gave me my book back along with stamps as compensation. So overall a really good system. My friend has also used the site with no problems.

    Hi Paige,

    We have an older thread on the readitswapit website, so I'll merge your thread with it as it helps to keep all suggestions together.

    Thanks everyone I will join "readit swapit" after your comments. I am hoping it will save me money on books, I cannot get to the library easily as I live in the middle of nowhere !!

    I just wanted to thank everyone for the great idea, and advice, with the Readit - Swapit website. Its been great, I have already swapped about 20 books.

    This is fab, as I have not brought any new books - one of my big weaknesses . Paige X

    I love RISI too but it gets expensive if you have to post a few books at once :D
