I'm inside the EU (Ireland) and "reasonably priced books in English aren't easy to find" unless you're buying pre-owned books and in most cases I can't find what I'm looking for specially when it comes to tech books. As an island, we're very much dependent on Amazon.co.uk for books.
- maleno 3y agoThey don't have everything when it comes to tech or more niche material, but Kenny's (https://www.kennys.ie/ https://www.kennys.ie/) is very good and offers free (and often fast) shipping.
- Symbiote 3y agoThat also looks like a good alternative for the EU and some other countries, with delivery at €1 per book. (Just not the USA, which is €9.50 for some reason.) https://www.kennys.ie/delivery-details https://www.kennys.ie/delivery-details
- shever73 3y agoIf you're in Dublin then Chapters has a fantastic, on-going (closing down, perhaps?) sale on fiction. I can't find books cheaper on Amazon than there. For tech books, I get the ISBN from Amazon and then order them from Books Upstairs. It is more expensive, but not excessively so.
- whoknowswho 3y agoWhile Book Depository definitely had some of the lowest prices, I wouldn't say we're very much dependent on Amazon - I've found that almost everything I've looked for can be found in a handful of bookshops around Ireland (Chapters, Kennys, Charlie Byrnes, Easons, Books Upstairs, Vibes and Scribes) - it's been a good few years since I've had to rely on book depository for a book
