I just came across this bookseller when I was searching for used books online. I figured it deserved a thread because the company supports literacy programs, practices eco-friendly shipping, and has free shipping on all items in the U.S. They sell both new and used. Used books start at $3.48.

thanks for the heads up.

my girlfriend can only use Pure and Natural(natty as I like to call it), but it's grwon hard to find. I found a case of 500 bars at .21 a bar online.

Good find, Pete. Thanks for the tip!

Yeah, but did you ever think that maybe they support literacy only because it allows people to read books?

Never mind.

Tom Storer · February-10th-2008, 04:43 AM

(thelil) is right. Their motive in promoting literacy is merely a crass hunger for profit! Yet another example of the greed and hypocrisy of that enormous mega-industry, online used book sales.

Yeah, and free shipping in the U.S.. That's highly suspicious, too!

Good one, Pete. I read too much and too fast for my wallet. I'll be able to do a lot better than Amazon used when shipping charges are factored in. I've been wondering how I was going to continue feeding my habit.

This cracks me up:

Kindle: Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device

I have hundreds of wireless reading devices. Portable, too. I can carry four or five anywhere I go, if I want to.
