What is E-book Fling?
Well, the official line is this.
“With eBook Fling, swap unlimited ebooks with thousands of readers nationwide. Just fling an eBook to others and catch the eBook of your choice - choose from the hottest New York Times Bestsellers, timeless classics and even rare, eclectic titles, textbooks and tech manuals!
Trade Kindle™ and Nook™ books using your e-reader device, iPad, iPhone, Blackberry™ or Android™ smartphone.
Best of all, it’s free to join!”
Basically, if you own a Kindle, Nook, or even a computer you can borrow and lend either type of book of many bestsellers for free. Lending books gains a credit, this credit can then be used to borrow a book. You can also buy credits at 8.99 for three. That’s essentially 3 books for the price of one.
You may have to wait a few days for the owner of the book to fling it to you, but it’s always been next day for me. If an owner doesn’t fling your book within one day, the next person that has this book will get the request. I think the majority of books that get requested are sent within 24 hours.
The only issue I’ve found is not an issue that the website controls, but the publisher does. Many of the books I want to read have the lending disabled. I want the next in the Iron King series, but it’s disabled, so that can get on my nerves. But overall, it's a great service where you can borrow a book for 14 days at little to no cost.
With the amount that most of all us bloggers read and buy books this can be a very economical way of getting those books we are dying to get our hands on.
Although, this sounds very ad-like, I am truly in love with this service. I read the entire Hunger Games trilogy through this service.
