I've Never Donated Before
I know exactly why I made the dontation. (I've never made a donation to a site like this before; in fact, I've never seen a computer site that asked for donations.) I made the donation because of three things: (1) the very generous 50% discount, (2) the high quality of your backup article (which confirmed my earlier decision to buy Acronis True Image 8.0) which included observations about specific shortcomings in the software and (3) the winsome, gracious, candid tenor of your website generally and your request for financial support in particular. In other words, I made a small donation because you are who you are. Isn't that the way the world generally works? People hire you because of who you are, expressed largely by what you've already done. All the best to you in the months ahead.

Screenshot - 1_2_2007 , 5_11_51 PM_thumb.png
If you love books, this site is for you. It allows you to rent paper and audio books the way some sites rent movies on DVD.

After signing up, browse the Web site and select titles you would like to add to your list by clicking the red Add To List button. These titles are added to your list. We automatically ship the number of titles your membership plan allows. The remaining titles on your list will be queued up for future orders. We recommend keeping at least 10-15 titles on your list at all times for the greatest enjoyment of our service. When you return titles you have read in the provided prepaid return mailer, we automatically ship your next selections. In the event your next selections are unavailable, we'll ship the first available titles on your list in the priority added. If your list currently has no available titles on it, we'll order them from one of our distributors and ship your order the following business day (older titles have limited availability).
...
Rent All You Want
With Booksfree you can rent as many titles as you want. The number of titles you rent depends on your membership plan and how quickly you return each order.
...
Free Shipping Both Ways
Shipping is always free both ways. There are never any hidden charges or late fees.
