I have one I am loyal too and only whole numbers are used. I have a good time adding to my collection of books. I can share a link if you like, I get some credit if you sign up. There is another with mooch in its name. they deal in 1/10 and 1 point. That is not a good thing for me. My daugher has another and she is napping right now so I do not know the name of it. It might be good too. If you want my link then I will also find out hers. Good luck finding one you like.
I also am part of book crossing they seem to put books in public places and then others are supposed to find them. That is not immediate enough for me.

You can check out this site:
www.bookcrossing.com
It's not really a cyber trading post but more of a way to leave books in public places so others can check them out. It's an interesting concept.
Here's a cut and paste from the website:
The "3 Rs" of BookCrossing...
1. Read a good book (you already know how to do that)
2. Register it here (along with your journal comments), get a unique BCID (BookCrossing ID number), and label the book
3. Release it for someone else to read (give it to a friend, leave it on a park bench, donate it to charity, "forget" it in a coffee shop, etc.), and get notified by email each time someone comes here and records a journal entry for that book. And if you make Release Notes on the book, others can Go Hunting for it and try to find it!

I'm a member of bookmooch and it's great! I've gotten and sent off several books this way. Only recently did I experience someone who was refusing to send me a book or even tell me why he was taking so long, but then you can easily cancel the request and you'll get your points back.

I use both Bookmooch and Paperbackswap.com. I like Paperbackswap better, though, because it automatically requests books for you. Bookmooch, you have to hope you get the email for the book you want before anyone else who also wants that book does. Since I don't check my email often, it's hard for me to get popular books from Bookmooch. There are at least three other sites that I know of for swapping books, but I haven't tried them. They are Bookins. com, Titletrader.com, Readersunited.com. Let me know if you try any of them!
