I'm looking for online bookstores (actually, screw it, I'm fine even if it's a physical store) other than mainstream ones like Kinokuniya and MPH which sells cheap books. I can accept second hand books. I know bookXcess but their selection is a lil' limited.

Am looking to buy Fantasy genre book, mainly completing Brandon Sanderson's up to date work and also buying The Wheel of Time (with Orbit's new cover).

Any suggestions? Also, Amazon/eBay seems to have pretty good deals for some of the books I'm looking for. Anyone here can share their experience with them?

I got most of my books from Amazon now. They ship free to SG for purchase above 125usd. Its much cheaper than what I can get in SG/MY book stores. Packing is good, my book never got damaged. Delivery take around 2 weeks.

Ebay depends on the seller, but you got paypal to settle your dispute, if any.
