The online shop Book Depository is due to close at the end of April, vendors and publishing partners have been told. This comes after the bookseller's parent company Amazon announced it had decided to "eliminate" a number of positions across its Devices and Books businesses.

demn, it's my no 1 source of affordable imported books and mangas. Free shipping is one of the main selling point. Is there any alternative other than Book Depository?

Not just that. They have an extensive collection and carry alot of books in stock while other places don't.

Bummer man.

Ahh. I was right then.
That's explained Joseph Catimbang books they priced exactly followed Amazon plus the shipping fees for each of his book.

My friend so upset she couldn't get the books she wanted at such lower price like mine till we had to order from Amazon JP. RM30 more expensive but that's the best we could find. Local Kinokuniya and MPH all out of questions harga mahal giler.

This is truly a sad news for readers out there.

I've been ordering frequently from this website since they have a lot of titles that are not selling in our local bookstores such as Kinokuniya and MPH.

Kinokuniya & MPH books are expensive.

Now I don't know what kind of alternative website that I can buy new book.

I've been trying to purchase books from Amazon website directly and I cannot proceed with the payment etc. Always failed in doing payment

For Arts and hobby books some you can find on Amazon JP. Definitely not as cheap as Book Depository but even with shipping fees theirs still way cheaper than buying from Amazon US (thanks to our shitty currency).

Just helped a friend buying from Amazon JP. Since our local Kinokuniya way way too expensive all price crazily high.
