Booksfree.com:

"Roxanne Volkmann, who describes herself as addicted to mysteries, reads an average of six books a month. At $5.95 per paperback, the cost of that addiction can add up."

"But Volkmann has found a particularly frugal way of feeding her habit: She orders books online from Booksfree.com, receives them by mail, and drops them in an envelope and sends them back when she's done. All in all, her membership costs $9 a month." from The Washington Post via Library Stuff - Updated daily by Steven M. Cohen.

One of the featured sections of the Booksfree site is a "Compare the Value" section, which compares the value of Booksfree.com to libraries, physical bookstores, and electronic retailers.  What do you think of this new business?
