How does Booksfree work?
After signing up, browse the Web site and add titles to your list by clicking the red Add button. 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 (this does not include title that have not been published yet or are older, rare titles) on your list at all times for the greatest enjoyment of our
service. You may keep the book(s) as long as you'd like, there are no due dates or late fees. When you return books in the provided prepaid
return mailer, we automatically ship your next selection(s).

What plans do you offer and what are the subscription fees?
Booksfree offers multiple membership plans to meet your needs for both Books and
Audiobooks. Membership plans are based on the number of books you can have checked out at a time.
This is not the number of books you are limited to each month. There are no limits on the number of books you can rent, only on the
number of books you can have checked out at any given time.

What is "My List"?
"My List" is the key to your subscription. When you find a title you want, click the red Add button and
the title will automatically be added to the end of your list. We automatically ship the number of books your membership plan allows.
When we receive your return, we automatically ship the next available selection(s), and so on. "My List" tells you which titles
you currently have checked out and which titles you have on your list. You can add up to 200 titles to your list, remove titles from
your list, and change the order of your list at any time. We recommend keeping at least 10-15 books on your list at all times so we always
have titles to send you.
