SwapBook: Built for what happens after you finish the book.
A place where books continue their journey.
SwapBook connects readers to discover, swap, lend, and move books within their community.
Books are everywhere. Finding their next reader isn't.
A finished book often ends up sitting on a shelf while someone else is looking for it.
SwapBook turns that gap into an opportunity to keep books moving.

I designed around swapping, not selling.
Swapping became the centre of the experience, with lending and delivery supporting the same goal.
Discover → Swap → Read → Share again

Finding a book should feel like discovering your next read.
Readers can explore books by title, author, category, and distance before thinking about the transaction.
Discovery comes first.

The book should answer the important questions.
Condition, owner, distance, availability, and delivery options stay close to the decision.
Less coordination. More confidence.

When a swap isn't possible, the book can still move.
Lending gives owners another way to share their books. The fee is capped at 10% of the original MRP, keeping the incentive small while making lending accessible.
The incentive supports circulation—not rental.

Everything returns to circulation.
Swapping, lending, returning, and delivery work together to keep a book moving between readers.
One finished book can become someone else's next read.
Someone still has to move the book.
Delivery Partners can pick up and deliver books while earning from each handoff.
Accepted → Picked → Transit → Delivered
Readers get access. Books keep moving.
