Is Book Depository the best online bookstore out there? And if it is, what’s the next best thing? We put online bookstores to the test by comparing the prices, delivery fees, and expected delivery date of 3 books selected from Book Depository’s “Bestsellers” page: Here are our 3 bestseller picks (all paperback editions) that we’ll be comparing acro...
Worderymight be one of the best alternatives to Book Depository—if not the best. Its virtual shelves are stocked with over 10 million books. While that’s only half of Book Depository’s vast literacy expanse, it’s still very decent. And the best part about Wordery is that they provide free delivery to over 100 countries.
All the book nerds I know headed straight to UK-based bookseller Blackwell’swhen their early pre-orders on Book Depository got cancelled due to its imminent closure. Makes sense, since Blackwell’s virtual shelves contain 18 million titles—a decent number against Book Depository’s 20 million. Here are the prices and delivery details of our 3 titles ...
This online bookstore has one of the fastest delivery lead times in Singapore. OpenTrolleypromises one-week local delivery, which is free with a minimum purchase of $60. It has some 15 million titles on their shelves, so they’ve also got a huge range for you to choose from. * Despite the alleged 15 million titles OpenTrolley stocks, I couldn’t find...
Not gonna lie, my first thought when I heard about this bookseller was that awesomebooks.com could be a pretty convincing scam website. Thankfully, it turns out AwesomeBooksis a reputable online global book retailer, processing over 250,000 books a day. They started off in 2003 selling books saved from landfills, and have offered new books since 20...
Like AwesomeBooks, AbeBookssells both new and secondhand books. And like Blackwell’s, AbeBooks also sells rare finds, including first editions, signed and inscribed copies, and out-of-print titles. But a big difference between AbeBooks and practically every other bookstore on this list is that AbeBooks works like a marketplace. You’re buying a book...
One of the few physical bookstores left in Singapore, Kinokuniyasells books both in their physical stores and online. Online prices and in-store retail prices differ, and today we’ll just be checking out the online ones. Note: Kinokuniya Privilege Card Members get 10% off the book price. Membership costs S$21.60 for a year, S$38.90 for 2 years, or ...
In the tables below, we rank the best online bookstores for each book in terms of the total cost of the book + shipping fees. We assumed you have no special member discounts, are shipping the book to Singapore, and are only buying that single book (and so are unlikely to hit the $50-60 minimum spend for free delivery). It’s also worth noting that o...
Looking just at the cost of the book + shipping, Worderyis your best bet to buy a book affordably online. This was followed by Blackwell’s, and then Book Depositoryin third place. I hate to say it, but if you’re just looking to purchase books at the lowest cost and have no customer loyalty to Book Depository, you won’t even miss everyone’s favourit...
Kinokuniyamay be the most expensive bookstore to get your books from on this list, but it’s the clear winner when it comes to fast delivery. After all, they aren’t shipping toSingapore so much as withinit. OpenTrolleyis a close second for the same reason. On the other end of the spectrum is AbeBooks, which can ship from all over the world, but whic...
Book Depository is closing down in April 2023, but you can still find other online bookstores that ship to Singapore. See how Wordery, Blackwell's, OpenTrolley Bookstore, Awesome Books, and AbeBooks compare in terms of book prices, shipping fees, and delivery time.

UK-based global book-selling site Book Depository is closing down after almost 20 years. And while no official reason has been given, it’s safe to assume it’s related to parent company Amazon’s recent push of downsizing and “role eliminations”. After all, why operate two massive international bookstores?
