      Actually I belong to two sites,
      http://www.paperbackswap.com/ &
      http://bookmooch.com
      where you list books you'll be willing to swap, paperback, hardback, or audio and you get a credit for mailing them out (media mail is around $2.60) and you use the credit to choose books you want. So basically you can get a "new" book for less than $3. A good way to try a book or author that you're not real sure about. If you are looking for older books, which I frequently will need books in a series that has been out for awhile, as I like to read a series back to back, you can get them pretty quick. New books you have to have put on your wishlist (you can have up to 200 on your wishlist) as soon as the ISBN is released(about 6 months before it actually comes out), or you wait a looong time. This has been the major thing that blogging has benefited me as the bloggers always have this info first and share it. So frequently I can snag a new book "free" within the first two weeks of release.I clean out my bookcase of read books and get "new ones. A win-win!
