This is me first attempt at creating a swap, so bear with me. While there's nothing that I love better than a real book (the feel, the smell), I'm slowly coming to accept the convenience of e-books. I can't imagine ever relying solely on them, but it is really convenient to have a whole library at your fingertips. The fact that e-books don't take up any space is an added bonus, since, as a college student, I move back and forth a lot, and can never take all my books with me. So, I came up with the idea of swapping electronic books. It's a great way to find new books, and if you stumble across something you really love, you can always go out and buy the real thing later. For this swap, you will send 1 e-book to each of your partners. This swap is sender's choice, though you can all feel free to look at your partners' profiles. Basically, send out one of your favorite books- it can be a classic or brand new best-seller. Some places to get E-books - If you own any that are free of DRM protection, you can send those. Once your partner's are done, they should delete them (essentially, you're lending books you've paid for) - Project Gutenberg... over 30,000 books! - Another great resource is this site: http://truly-free.org/ E-books should be in formats that can easily be read on pretty much all computers, like .lit, .doc, or .pdf. |
