Consumer Reports - Money Adviser

Mail-order rentals aren't limited to DVDs. You can also get paperbacks and audiobooks delivered to your mailbox. These services are nice if you consume best sellers like candy and hate to be part of long waiting lists at the local library but don't want to buy them either. Here are two services to check out, but before signing up be sure to browse listings to make sure they include the titles you're interested in reading or listing to:

Booksfree.com charges $7.99 to rent two paperback books at a time or $24.99 to rent two audiobooks.
