Wow. I can understand people making uneducated posts when it comes to technical things, but this is just... wow.

It is a good idea though... ;) And 400 years ago it was positively brilliant!

I still don't get it... :?

I read a lot of books...at least 2-3 a month...my books are mostly useless once I've read them. The library doesn't cut it...locally speaking...they never have many books of interest. I'd much rather borrow a book for a month at the cost of $5 than goto Chapters and spend $80 or $60 on Amazon and pay $80 after shipping... :P

A trading post for books in a "global" community would make sense I would think...even if Amazon offers a similar service...something specialized would probably work better.

What am I missing? :oops:

That's the point at which you're suppossed to put to them to good use. Like displaying them on a bookshelf, giving them to friends, selling them - anything except stuffing in a box in the garage ;).

Not to be offensive, but I think the term is "a couple" not "lots". :twisted:
*sigh* if only Pratchett would write one book a month...

2 to 3 books a month over the course of decades or centuries could cumulatively be a "lot" of books. :)
