BookSwim offers book rentals for all types of books, including textbooks. The books are rented in a similar arrangement as movie rentals from Netflix.

From their Web site, the company states: “BookSwim is the first online book rental library service lending you paperbacks, hardcovers and now college textbooks Netflix®-style directly to your house, without the need to purchase! We stock all the latest bestsellers, new releases, and classics! Read your books as long as you want – no late fees! Even choose to purchase and keep the books you love! We are now also your gateway for textbook rental.”

The ways BookSwim is similar to Netflix is the books can be returned postage paid and kept for as long as the reader wants. The number of books that can be rented each month varies from one to five, depending on the plan. There is also an unlimited plan available that doesn’t limit the number of books that can be rented each month.

Referrals are encouraged at BookSwim. The BookSwim member who refers a friend gets a $10 BookSwim credit. The friend gets 50 percent off the price of creating a new account.
