SACRAMENTO (CBS13) ― You’ve probably heard about renting textbooks, now that system applies to all books with a new website called “Bookswim.”

By their own description, Bookswim.com is like Netflix for books. For around $10 a month, you get unlimited book rentals and the shipping is absolutely free!

The books are delivered to your house and you can take as long as you need to read them. Just ship the books back when you’re done.


You can even buy the books you like after you’ve read them.

First, you sign up with the service, and then pick the books you want to read and put them in the “rental pool.”

There’s no checkout, you just wait for the books to arrive and start reading! If you have one of those e-readers, or read on your phone, they offer I-book rental as well, at ten to twenty dollars off the cover price.

And best of all, there’s no contract, and no cancellation fee, you can quit at any time.

So how do you save by renting your bestsellers?

If you bought ten books in one month, the company says this service would save you $175 by using Bookswim!
