Amazon buys The Book Depository

[Guest needtogonow]

Interesting to see how this may effect the current prices of books and free delivery to Australia.

What a shame. Another company monopolising the market.

I was wondering why Amazon.co.uk had started to offer free delivery to Oz on orders over 30 quid. I made the most of it and stocked up on blu-rays. I got the Alien Anthology boxset for $24 from Amazon, on JB Hifi online it was $119! And that was their sale price.

A sad day for readers, authors and publishers!

oh dear...

It is bound to affect prices and delivery :-(

Will have to spend my money locally in the book shops instead (which I prefer to do anyway)

It is a shame, however, the last few times we tried to order from Amazon, they stated they couldn't deliver to us, so I gave up and ventured to a wee local bookshop who managed to order me a most treasured cookbook which arrived in days

that really is too bad, since being here I have managed to still get our fav's from The Book Depository, guess we will just have to wait and see what changes are to come
