I did a search and found a similar idea, the Newspaper Exchange Rack. I decided to post PaperSwap,com because I think it solves a related but different problem than the N.E.R.

Having a perpetually existing stack of newspapers in the house is a fact of life for a lot of people, myself included. How about a website which would facilitate newspaper recycling or exchange between people in the same area. Somebody who reads the paper in the morning could give theirs to someone who reads at night, or people could trade different papers. Other literature like books and magazines could also possibly be traded/recycled.

       We have that, it's called 'the coffee shop'.   

       Just kidding, it's the library.

       reading an already read newspaper is like dining from the leftover scraps of the patrons sitting at the next table. shame on you.

       Ah, yes, we *really, really* need some complicated mechanism to save people the expense of making a 50¢ to $1 purchase. Not.   

       (And websites for swapping books already exist.)
