(PRWEB) September 4, 2008 -- Booksfree.com, the only online retail service offering both paperback and audiobook rentals, was recently recognized by Inc. Magazine as one of America's top 5,000 fastest growing privately held companies.
The Inc. 5000 list takes a comprehensive look at the entrepreneurial engine driving the U.S. economy in the 5,000 fastest growing companies in America. To qualify for the Inc. 5000, companies have to be U.S.-based, privately held, and independent. They cannot be subsidiaries or divisions of other companies. Revenue in the initial year must have been at least $200,000, and revenue in the most recent year must have been at least $2 million.
At the cornerstone of its achievement, Booksfree.com's one of a kind model gives readers more flexibility and choice than many other book retail sites on the Internet. Users are able to rent books at an average cost of less then $3.00 each with free shipping for books that retail up to $18.00. Audiobooks are also available for rent through Booksfree.com at an average cost of less then $6.00 with free shipping for audiobooks that retail up to $90.00.
With over 120,000 book titles and 20,000 audiobook titles to choose from, the Booksfree rental model provides a lower cost to members per book while offering far more convenience than services offered by "swap" sites.
