Book sharing in a web 2.0 world

The Internet has changed how we communicate with loved ones, bank, do business and otherwise entertain ourselves. It has also provided many new avenues for book sharing and swapping amongst friends and strangers; even if the technology sometimes stands in the way.

Thankfully there are several ways to share books from your favorite author with your friends or to trade for new and exciting reads, due in part to web 2.0!

Frugal for Life points out a few resources for book trading made possible by the Internet. The first is BookMooch.com, a book trading website which is based on a point system and allows you to trade with people all over the world. You earn points for entering your books and for sending out additional books.
