You can rarely get current books. My account was fine for 15 months until I started trying to use up my credits. I had about 108 when they froze my account, accusing me of reselling their books "on my storefront". I tried to explain to them that I order a lot of books for friends/acquaintances who want books but do not want to join the club. Apparently my account activity over the last couple of months flagged my account. I received a nasty email telling me "Don't try to deny it; we can see the books on your storefront." What storefront? Their terms of use forbid anyone from reselling books either in person or online. I don\'t see how this can possibly be controlled or enforced. I feel that if I am in possession of an item, then it becomes my property to do with as I wish. There is no way to prove any one book came from their website, anyway.
Damage Resulting = 108 credits with approximate value of $2.38-$2.77 each, which is the average price to mail a book media mail.
Book swapping site - Awesome way to get and get rid of books. The even have wish and reminder lists if you want to just watch reviews on books or if you want to get in line for a popular book that's not available immediately. I have swapped over 100 books on there and I love it!
