Yep! Very familiar with it. There's a lot of
bookcrossers there, too. Basically, you register
books on a bookshelf there (by ISBN - very similar to
BC), and the system will match you up with others who
want your books, or who have books you want. There's
no BCIDs or tracking numbers, though - the
registration is only for the purpose of matching books
with requestors.
(So keep pasting in BC labels if you want journal
entries)
Right now it's only open for participants in the USA,
and all postage calculations are based on Media Mail
rates. All trades are based on a credit system. Once
you register 9 books on your shelf, you receive 3
credits - book trades "cost" one credit each. Every
time you send a book to another person, you receive a
credit (once the book is received).
You can also earn credits for referrals - I think it's
one credit per person who signs up using your e-mail
address as a referral. (if anyone is feeling
charitable, my email over there is demthariette @
yahoo.com ;) )
For non-USA folks, there's another new site -
titletrader.com - that's slowly gaining international
members. Most of the USA members there set their
preferences to "USA only", but others are finally
coming around :)
