Do you have textbooks from 2000 and newer, travel guides/books from 2003 and newer, hardcover and softcover fiction/non-fiction sitting collecting dust? These are just some of the types of books that are accepted by Better World Books. This "online bookstore with a soul collects and sells books online to fund literacy initiatives worldwide."
Here’s the best part: In addition to selling new titles, Better World Books supports book drives and collects used books and textbooks through a network of over 1,600 college campuses and partnerships with nearly 1,000 libraries nationwide. So far, the company has converted more than 11 million donated books into $4.5 million in funding for literacy and education. In the process, we’ve also diverted more than 6,000 tons of books from landfills.
So, the next time you are about to order a book online (free shipping anywhere in the US, or $3.97 worldwide from Better World), or would like to sell or donate some of the books that are taking up too much space on your bookshelf, be sure to visit, http://www.betterworld.com/.

There are actually quite a few companies that pay cash for used books. You can put in your ISBN at BookScouter.com to check how much each of them is paying. Betterworld will sometimes buy them, but often other places will pay more for them.
