  1. Originally a #webcomic on #Tapastic (as was) now #Tapas back in 2017, #ChelseaFuredi’s gripping tale #ProjectNought has been turned into a full #GraphicNovel. Despite the #SciFi label, this is intrinsically about affinities and characters growing together. There is a surprise twist, so I am being careful about my comments. This is a quick, well-paced read with gorgeous #artwork. I ordered my copy back in February from and prior to the demise of #BookDepository (taken over & subsumed by *m*z*n).

  5. Yikes!

    #bookDepository has closed?!

    Was *the* place to order books if you wanted to not use $AMZN

  6. Book Depository: Free delivery worldwide on over 20 million books - Amazon bought this great shop and now dead. 🙄 #Bookdepository #Books #Amazon bookdepository.com/

  7. Does anyone have any Book Depository replacement for #German and #French books shipped to the US?

    (It can be two different stores as long as one ships German books and one ships French books without the $20+ shipping per book that I see in many places.)

    This is becoming pressing...

  9. One of the saddest emails to ever grace my inbox.

    RIP Book Depository.

  10. This is worrying. It has been a great source of books in English for me for the last ten years.

  11. #bookdepository is closing down. This is sad news. I wonder why? Where will I buy my books now? Certainly not from Amazon.

  12. So #Amazon is closing #BookDepository. This follows on the heals of them announcing they're shuttering #DPReview last week. Both well-regarded and well-patronised companies.

    Perish the thought that a pattern might be developing, but if you are a regular patron of any of the following, you might want to start thinking about alternatives:

    #Twitch
    #Audible
    #GoodReads
    #IMDb
    #AbeBooks

    (there are many more, of course)

  13. Amazon closing UK-based online shop Book Depository

    A very sad day for book lovers & for staff at the Book Depository

    Parent companies are all very well - they especially help in times of need.

    This is until they themselves have to make cutbacks, then they toss you aside like fodder.

  14. @decryption This is going to have a huge impact on us in NZ. I bulk buy textbooks from bookdepository. Because of the free delivery they are always cheaper than Amazon. Great. Monopoly rules again.

  15. Just discovered that Book Depository is closing later this month. Shocked! I’ve been a regular customer of theirs for some years. Sad to see them go. #Bookshops #Books #OnlineShopping #BookDepository #Bookselling

  16. Diana Pinguicha (on twitter):
    "A lot of you aren't aware of how *bad* this really is. Many out there relied on BookDepository to get their books at reasonable prices. It was also one of the few places you could get indie books if you lived outside the US/UK.

    It's truly a sad day for the intl' book crowd."

    A reminder that ebooks, as commonplace as they are in the U.S., are not everyone's preferred reading medium.

  17. Honestly shocked that Book Depository is closing.

    Sure, Amazon bought them up a long time ago, but they haven't folded the site into their offerings & BD offers a lot that Amazon doesn't - mostly the free shipping to many many countries, and the good selection of Western European titles that are much harder to get shipped abroad any other way...

  18. Bye bye #bookdepository and thank you for the book delivery all these years.
