This is a great list. I used the library a ton and also tend to get a lot of books as gifts. I like your Swagbucks idea.

I love me my books too. The Kindle forums are a good place to find free books too.

I love swagbucks. I use the amazon gift cards to buy dog food. We have amazon prime (free trial) so we get free 2-day shipping. We also borrow a ton of books from our local library.

I read constantly, whether it’s a book, magazine, blog or even the news. To get free books, I love, love, love my library. I put so many books on hold at the library that they actually know who I am at this point! I also love Project Gutenberg for eBooks (since I’m on a classics kick). And my other free way to read without spending money? Borrowing from friends and family.

That said, I will buy a book from time to time. If it’s a career or reference book, or a book I know I will read again, I’ll buy it. Also, if it’s a book I desperately want to read and none of the libraries in my state carry it, I’ll buy it. I did that with The Girl’s Guide to Homelessness (by Brianna Karp) and it was money well spent.

Absolutely love the library. I almost always have multiple books checked out at a time.

I love the public library. I can put ahold on a book and they email it is in. In fact, I am going there today to pick up 2 books on hold.

I am a devoted library person – but yes, it sometimes can take a while. I’m starting to be more active on Swagbucks so I can earn some more points there!
