BookSwim: Rent Books via the Mail, Return Them When Finished
Here’s another one from Garrett. Similar to video rental services like Netflix, BookSwim proposes to offer readers the ability to rent books and get and return them via mail. The service, which claims not to want to compete with libraries, is not yet available. The materials for investors indicates the company creators have a poor opinion of the materials public libraries offer. They have a chart showing how BookSwim could be better than bookstores and libraries by providing a range of brand new and out-of-print books in better condition than what you’d find in libraries, with less effort on the part of the reader, and with the option to purchase a book.
