« Online Book Rental, the P2P Way
0
- Online book rental is now becoming popular on the internet. We recently had the opportunity to work on Silibi whose business model is focussed on peer-to-peer rental. For us, the concept of exchanging books over the internet, using the APIs from ISBNDB, Amazon, USPS and Paypal was very interesting.
We initially used ISBNDB to access the books database and it worked great for us. However, we needed the book image and its weight, so we switched over to Amazon. USPS is seamlessly integrated with the check-out process and shipment labels automatically get generated. Check it out yourself at Silibi and you will see that the application is very fast, even when it tries to retrieve lot of information from many 3rd party sources.
