If your library has a limited selection, or if you prefer paperbacks, try Booksfree.com. With more than 45,000 titles, the website offers monthly subscriptions to rent anywhere from 2 to 12 paperbacks at a time. Prices vary ($7.99-$29.99 a month, including shipping to and from your home), depending on how many books you have out.
