It's no secret that many independent bookshops have closed because of competition from Amazon, but the online behemoth isn’t always the cheapest option. Bookindy offers the best of both worlds by telling you when a book you're viewing on Amazon is available for a lower price from a local bookseller.
It uses data from the independent- bookshop network Hive (www.hive.co.uk)
to tell you how far away the store is, or you can order the book from
that seller online for delivery or collection. Sadly, most of the books
we searched for were slightly cheaper on Amazon, but Bookindy is still
worth a look if you want to support local businesses rather than
tax-dodging global corporations.
