PagePals
Monthly used book exchange. We handle matching and logistics
PagePals is a monthly used book exchange. Every month you’re matched with a reader whose reading tastes align with yours. They will choose a book from their shelf specifically for you (you'll do the same). The book isn't the same title sent to hundreds of people or a publisher’s pick. Personally recommended books people think deserve a second life while saving shelf space in the process. PagePals handles the matching, packaging, and shipping to make it as seamless and convenient as possible.
I built PagePals after getting frustrated with book swap sites (having to handle/pay for postage every send, hunting for specific books) and mass-market subscription boxes (same picks for everyone with little personalization). With PagePals, a reader is matched with another reader each month based on their reading preferences, they pick from their shelf based on your tastes, and you also send a book you'd personally recommend. Shipping is included. ~$12/mo. It's personalized and convenient.
@jack_carroll I love the idea of extending the life of books by swapping, instead of letting them gather dust on a shelf. Do you plan to expand to the UK in the future?
