Yep! Lookie, I asked the same thing:
http://knittersreview.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=43872
I got three knitting books so far and although the shipping is kind of slow (7-10 days), the books are in tip-top shape and the prices are really good. I'm going to branch out and order cooking books now. I wish more of my relatives were bookworms, this would make my Christmas shopping so much easier (for me and my wallet).

The other difference is that the books are yours--you're buying them, not renting them.
The only thing I'd say is that it's run by Book-of-the-Month Club, and the way they work is that they get the rights to print their own copies of the books, and the production quality is generally considerably lower than the publisher copies. Cheaper paper, cheaper binding, etc. I can usually spot a BOMC edition from a mile away, but that's the bookstore owner in me....

I recently had a friend tell me about Zooba. Since he isn't a knitter he didn't know what type of selection they had so I browsed the site myself to see. I was a little disappointed with the limited selection of knitting books. Am I missing some? lol My other interest was to find fiction books on CD. I didn't find any of those either. If I just didn't dig deep enough, please let me know!

I checked this out but I feel like I get a better deal at Crafter's Choice. They have a fairly good selection, and with the sign-on bonus and specials, they typically average around $10 each, I would say.
