Find the cheapest books online

Wednesday, 12 Sep 2012

This one’s gonna knock your socks off.

For all the bookaholics out there, you all know how expensive book buying can get.

Which is why we were stoked when we found oo.sg – the concept is so brilliant that we really don’t know why no one else has thought of it.

oo.sg is a book price comparison website that consolidates the best deals from 9 online book retailers – Amazon, Kinokuniya, Popular, Betterworldbooks, Bookdepository, Fishpond, Noqstore, and Opentrolley, and Acmamall.

It’s incredibly simple to use – we test-drove it a couple of times and are happy to say that we haven’t encountered any kinks. All you need to is to key in the title of the book that you’re looking for, and the website does the rest of the hard work.

Prices from 9 websites are compiled in an easy-to-read interface for you to cross-refer to. This means no more frantic googling and comparing across different tabs and windows. Or if you’re like the lazy us, it means some money saved. Cha-ching!

We also really like that oo.sg pulls key info like price, shipping fees, and delivery time into a table form for easy comparison. They even throw in promotions that are updated in real time so you’ll get the best bang for your buck.

And the absolute best bit? oo.sg is totally free! Want a book? Search it on oo.sg, find what you’re looking for (the cheapest or the fastest) and buy it from the online retailer directly!
