I know Scott (of ScottAndDanielle) posted this and I wanted to wait for my new addy. It's $9.95 a month. You make a list of books (like you do on Netflix) and each month they send you one. They have a really good selection. My dad just joined too.

If you're a big reader it might be worth it to check it out. Chat Icon

t - this is from their site....

What books does Zooba offer?
Zooba offers brand new, mostly hardcover editions of today's bestsellers and tomorrow's discoveries hot off the press.


At first I thought you returned the books like you do with Netflix but you are buying them.

Then I was confused and thought it was for paperback books and was thinking 9.95 was not that great a bargain.

Now that I understand it, it doesn't sound like a bad deal.Chat Icon

That does not sound like a bad deal at all!

The majority of the books are hardcover. I did see some that were paperback but usually those book club editions are better made than the mass market types.

So you don't return them? You keep it? For 9.95 you get a book a month?

Oh, I misunderstood, Booksfree is a lending library. I used them for a while, but now with the baby I don't have as much time to read, so it didn't make sense. Plus I can now get to the library during the day, which I couldn't do when I was working.
