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

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...
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?

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".
*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.
