is there any kind of book swapping network in Thailand? I thought that I could use a Kindle but apparently my brain can't handle something to read that doesn't have coffee stains on it.

Are you in Bangkok? Google "Book Crossers" for more info.

Otherwise check out backpacker's guesthouses and your local farang bars, many have open shelves for that, strictly on the honor system.

thanks, I was wondering why there were books laying around in my local bar.

I just joined the Yahoo group, thanks!

A design fault that can be easily remedied post-sale.

Where are you located????

BookCrossing is a good system. I always leave my books around for people to read after I have finished. At the hotel i'm staying or somewhere there is a shelf of books.

I will be serving a life sentence in Buriram August onwards.

As to the other comment, I often develope an emotional bond towards some books(some go on the fire), the fact that I can't ship my library over HURTS. I have a few tattered book-wrecks that have been over the world with me for 40 years or more
