The box has 4 paperbook books in them. I am needing this for e-bay as I don’t have a scale at home.
This can’t be answered without more information. It depends on the size of the books (length, width and thickness).
I have heavy paperback books that are 8.5" width, 11" length, 2" thick, that weigh 2 pound and. I have other paperback books that are 2.5" width, 6" length, 1/8" thick that weigh 2 ounces.
You could place the books in the box and keep it open, then take it to the post office where they will weigh it.

I’m selling my collection of johanna lindsey novels and right now I don’t have a big enough box, but I want to get the books on ebay since I think the seller fees are free today. I suppose I could try holding them and stepping on a scale and then stepping on without it, but I wonder if you can give me a rough estimate?
Do you think if I just put a flat rate of 20 dollars, that that would cover me with packaging and gas and all the other handling fees?
I just weighed 3 books and came out with an average of 10-12 ounces. (Regular size paperbacks). Working with 12 ounces that comes to a few ounces over 27 pounds. Figure 28-29 with packing. You can ship books by media mail which is WAY cheaper through the US Postal Service. You can get shipping estimates here: www.usps.com

I’ve ordered only jeans, and a shirt from amazon, and they were both shipped in a small bag. Will my books come in a box pr somethingmore protective?
books and textbooks from Amazon usually are shipped boxed, and we’ve never had a problem. For example:

And here’s information on Amazon packaging:

Good luck!
Does it make a difference if I am selling books as a set? Should that be more or less?
25-50 cents for paperbacks
50cents – $1.00 for hardcovers
As for the set, you can ask a certain amount for a set, but be prepared to split it up if someone wants just one or two. Better to sell a couple, than carry the whole set back in the house when it’s over! good luck
Here’s a slide show I created using vintage paperback crime novels from the Fifties and Sixties to the sounds of 101 Strings. Most of the covers were painted by the brilliant Robert McGinnis, who always made his women look simultaneously deadly and sexy.

I’m from ohio and libraries there have tons of paperback books.
You haven’t been to the right ones if you haven’t seen the paperback … my local libraries all have lots!
Libraries in general prefer hardcovers because they last longer – they are made from better quality paper with higher quality binding glue.
We take a look at a Viliv S5 running Windows 7 as an eReader. We compare the reading experience to paperback books and the iPhone. The Viliv S5 is around half the size of a typical paperback book, but the text layout is about equivalent to the standard print size of a paperback. Of course, you could hold hundreds of books on the Viliv S5 with its 32Gb internal SSD storage. Additionally the Viliv S5 can be optioned with 3G to make it your mobile office.
In this, part 2 we compare the Amazon Kindle software for PC side by side with the Barnes & Noble eReader software.

i have a small collection of these very lightweight paperback books (like small comics), all of them published in 1949/50, some in very good condition, a couple have a few torn pages as they were my nan’s from when she was a child….they have the stories of the golliwogs and many many more, they also have old advertisements in them. just wondered if they will be worth anything in time?

I did a search for you for her paperbacks published between 1946 and 1951 to be on the safe side.
Looks like you’ve got something cool there. The ripped up ones won’t do you much good but if they are in good shape they could be nicely valued.
Scroll through the descriptions and find books that match the publisher, date and condition to find what yours might be worth.
