    I’ve bought from digiDirect before and it seems like they’re doing the right thing by Booktopia’s old employees.

    I’ll keep buying from them if they make it possible to browse the website with some privacy extensions running

    I used to buy books from Booktopia a lot, because reading text on LCD / LED screens is horrible.

    But then I discovered epaper devices and the convenience of carrying your entire library around in something half the size of a single paperback.

    Surprised there’s still a big enough demand for physical books to be honest.

        Kids books would be a big part of the market too. You need to have the physical books out on displayso kids can look at them and grab them.

        I’d try go independent either book stores or toy shops first but Booktopia would be the next place to look after that for kids books
