With popular reading devices such as the Kindle and Nook, it’s rare to see someone with an actual book, especially when they offer special features such as sharing books between other device owners. Sure they may be slim and convenient, but there is nothing like the smell and touch of an actual book. Well now you can have it all with the new Swap Shelves popping up in airports all over.
Store owners are starting to encourage frequent fliers to leave a book and take a book. This helps you get fresh reading material for free (or cheap) and lightens your load of a book you’re done with.
A few airports, like Portland International, have used bookstores where someone has undoubtedly just sold back that bestseller you wanted, and you can pick it up for less than full price.
Alternatively, check out The Paradies Shops: they let you return a book you bought within 6 months and receive half your money back.
