I know I've mentioned this before, but it's worth mentioning again: Paperback Book Swap.

You know when you trade paperbacks with folks in your office? Now, imagine merging that with a social networking site and a bit of Amazon, and you get this way cool site. For those of us who don't always have time to read the books we bring home from the library on a nicely regulated schedule, this allows us to request books, hang on to 'em as long as we like, and--if we want--trade 'em again. All for just the cost of postage.

And now, they've added a feature that allows you to purchase the postage right on your computer, so that you don't have to have $2.13 worth of stamps to pay media mail (formerly library rate).
