Book Swim Review

When buying a book has become expensive and libraries have started imposing late fees on a book you failed to return on its due date, readers can get discouraged. That is why Book Swim was established to solve this problem. Book Swim focuses on renting out all kinds of books, from literary fiction to non-fiction to college textbooks on algebra and chemistry.

This is how Book Swim works. You choose a monthly plan out of the five available plans. For each plan you have the option of renting out 1, 3, 5, 7, or 11 books on the Book Swim inventory and keep the books with you for as long as you want, as long as you are still paying your monthly fees. When it is time for you to read new books, simply return the books you have and wait for the company to ship the next books on your reading list.

Your account on Book Swim includes a Rental Pool that you can manage anytime. The top books on this rental pool are what Book Swim delivers right to your doorstep free of charge. Yes, shipping is absolutely on the company, so you only have to worry about the monthly fees that are automatically billed to your credit card every month. And no, this is no fraud company taking advantage of your credit card information because all transactions with Book Swim are managed by a secure, third-party system. That also means you can choose to opt out of the service anytime you like without paying cancellation fees or any of that sort.

Recently, Book Swim has also partnered with Chegg.com, one of the biggest college textbook rental services found online, so you can also get your college books from Book Swim instead of paying hundreds of dollars for a single copy you will only use for one semester. This makes it much easier for college students to increase their savings by 85% and spend their money on other pressing needs.

Book Swim’s pool of books is huge and it contains classics and best-sellers. But there is no need to worry about running out of copies or finding yourself in a long reserve list for the book you would like to take out because Book Swim maintains multiple copies of books they know are very much in demand. So the next time you are charged with hundreds of dollars for the book your professor required for your class, or find yourself on No. 12 on the local library’s waiting list for the latest award-winning literary fiction book, think about getting a Book Swim account instead.
