ok, I admit it, I am a voracious reader. Since the first of the year I have finished 28 books. If I paid full price for every book I read, we would be living on the streets. Fortunately, I don’t. We have a decent library system here in town, and I make use of it, but even if we didn’t (and we have lived in places that don’t) I still get books at cut prices.
I am a member of Paperbackswap.com PBS is a great site that allows you to list the books you are willing to get rid of, and when someone requests a book, you mail it out, at first class or media mail rates, whichever is cheaper. (some kids books, and small things like harliquins are cheaper to mail first class.) You pay the postage when something is requested. For each book you mail out, you get a credit, 2 credits for audio books, and when you use credits to order books, you pay nothing. Occasionally something may happen, such as a book being lost or damaged in the mail, but these are rare. I have been a member at PBS for 3 1/2 years and totally love it. This is one of the best book sites on the web!
