Eason's web site is terrible.... Buying books over the web..

Any one else out there consider the EASON web page to be the worst ever.
I can never find a book I want. I always get a result of "1 of 500" and then have to trawl through all them.

Other than Amazon what other sites have people found good. I am currently buying my books from Amazon.com even thought there is a charge of $10 for delivery. They are still cheaper that EASONS and Amazon.co.uk.

Rant finished...............

Book Site

www.thebookpeople.co.uk is a good `un. Not a huge selection but very cheap, and prompt delivery. Think they`ve got an Irish site now-www.thebookpeople.ie I think.

Eason`s charge 5 E for delivery of first book and 3 E for subsequent books though 20E would be their max delivery charge. It`s still high.

www.thebookbrain.co.uk doesn`t sell books but is a great link for finding the cheapest version of the book you want to buy online. It basically trawls through other book sites and throws up a comparison of their book price and delivery charge. Worth a look.

Book Site

I gave up on Easons when I tried without success to use their website then went in to be told that a book listed as in stock would take two weeks plus to order and be available for collection in person even though they wanted payment up front. Since then I have bought most of my books new or second hand from US based Amazon Marketplace resellers and they arrive quicker and are generally cheaper even with the delivery charge...

Re: Book Site

I find Abebooks very good.

agree...

Agree absolutely re Easons - I just don't bother anymore. Abebooks are good as are www.scholars.ie for school books. €6.50 delivery and they will order anything you need if it's not listed - beats traipsing around town any day.
