I know the closing of Book Depository is affecting many. I don‘t know if this Book Riot article will help, but I wanted to share.

https://bookriot.com/book-depository-alternatives/

Ruthiella Thanks for this! Hopefully one or all of these options will work for Littens outside of the US and the UK. 👍 2y
Hooked_on_books Thanks for posting this! 2y
Suet624 @batsy did you see this article? There are some alternatives to Book Depository in here. 2y

batsy @Suet624 Yes, thanks! Pre-pandemic Thrift Books and Better World were viable options but right after, the shipping costs to MY were double to triple the cost of the book. Haven't had a look recently, though. 2y
CarolynM Thanks for this. I didn‘t know Fishpond are doing free delivery - they didn‘t in the past. Hopefully they will be a good alternative for me. 2y
Reggie Thanks for this, Margie! 2y

Maybe someone can help me... I want to share my wishlist with my #conandoyleswap. How can I share this list? 😫😉

Sophoclessweetheart Well, as the matches are 1:1, they don‘t need to be a secret like the #janeaustenswap matches so, email them a link would be the best bet xx 7y
Sarah83 @Wanderingwithwords that's what I want to do.but how? 7y
Sophoclessweetheart You‘ll have to make the wishlist public, because that lock icon means its private. Then there should be a share button somewhere which will give you a link. But, I‘m not sure where you‘d find it as I don‘t use book depo wishlists so have never done it x 7y

Sarah83 @Wanderingwithwords sounds great. I will have a look. Thank you. 😉🤗 7y
Sarah83 @Wanderingwithwords so it worked. 😉 When you use your mobile phone, you don't see the created link. 😉 Now everything is fine. Thanks. 😍 7y
Sophoclessweetheart You‘re welcome x 7y

Today's eclectic #bookhaul brought to you by Book Outlet. 📚🤓

LeahBergen Nice! 👍🏻 7y
Susannah @LeahBergen Thanks! I try to limit my Book Outlet orders since it basically exists to binge. I'm feeling smug that this order is my first since January 2017. 😄 7y
Bibliogeekery Hi! Can you send me an email letting me know how you're doing with #qgp2, what books you have and when you plan to send them along? Thanks 7y

At what point do emails like this signify a “problem”? How many are too many? 🙄😆

Jess7 I‘m confused - What do you mean? 7y
TaciturnWhenReading @Jess7 Is there such a thing as too many book orders? I‘m gonna assume from your comment that‘s a nonsensical question. 😂 7y
Jess7 Haha, no. I was really confused thinking you meant you didn‘t want to receive an order confirmation. I get it now. Sorry that went over my head 🤣 7y

Vouchercloud has an Amazon offer for today only. I'm not going to use it but thought I'd share my email just in case any Littens want to take advantage!

AprilR That's very sweet! 8y

Littens help! I'm trying to talk myself out of buying this (or into it, whichever). I have a nook, but not the tablet, but it's on the fritz and I haven't had great luck with them anyway. I'd really like an iPad but can't exactly afford it at the moment. This would probably get me through until I can get one. Pros? Cons?

britt_brooke I'd jump on it for that price! I had a Fire back when they first came out and was $299, I think. I couldn't get used to the Android operating system (I'm hopelessly an Apple girl) so I eventually sold it, but if that's no issue, I'd snatch it up! 8y
LauraBeth I don't have a fire but have looked at them (I only have an iPad bc my hubby is a Mac engineer). I'd say that for the price - that would be a good tablet (if you wanted something to hold you over until you got an iPad) 8y
Reviewsbylola I have that one for my kids. Personally, having had two kindles myself, I won't buy another one that isn't backlit. I only read ebooks in bed so I currently read on my phone. 8y

GlitteryOtters @alanacristin heads up on this sale, in case you are interested in investing now. I know you said you were thinking you should have a kitchen specific tablet & this is a pretty darn good deal if you were looking to purchase a new one for that purpose. 👍👍 8y
MidnightBookGirl Nope, sorry, I can't try to talk you out it. That's a great deal! 8y
CocoReads @Reviewsbylola uh oh--it's not backlit? That's a deal breaker for me. 8y
CocoReads @LauraBeth, your hubby is a mac engineer? That's awesome! I just recently switched from pc to mac at home and love it! 8y
CocoReads @britt_brooke I'm not a huge fan of android but until this summer, I had android phone and although I'm Mac at home, I'm PC at work so already switch between operating systems. I can probably handle it for now. 8y
Reviewsbylola As far as I can figure out, no. Your best bet would be the paperwhite. I am contemplating buying that one but haven't pulled the trigger yet. 8y
paige84 The kindle fire is definitely back lit. I have one. It's basically an android tablet with amazon apps on it. 8y
CocoReads @AshleyPaige thanks! I'm pretty sure I'm going for it! Just remembered I already have my Christmas money from my mother in law, so I think I'm gonna do it! 8y
alanacristin Cheers for the heads up, @GlitteryOtters!!! 😀 8y
Bookladylinda I'm not sure if you purchased this Kindle Fire but I wanted to throw something out there to you since you love Nook - as do I, was not that excited over the Samsung Nook but B&N is selling a new Nook this year - I think it is in stores now and it is also $49.00 8y
CocoReads @Bookladylinda thanks. I did buy this, as I wanted more of a tablet and my husband has the Samsung nook, which I don't love. Over the years I've bought and replaced many nooks. I don't have great luck with them. My last nook I replaced 3 times because they kept overheating. Going to give kindle a shot this time around. 8y
Bookladylinda Oh I see - I've been very lucky with mine - I'm currently using the Nook HD - and I ❤️️ it so much! I'm also going to get the new Nook. Good luck to you with the Kindle! 8y
CocoReads Thank you. I originally picked nook over kindle because if there were problems I could just deal with my local b&n folks. The nook hd is the one that I had so many problems with. But honestly, I have weird chemistry with electronics. Even with taking great care of them, they tend to die on me. Which is why I always but the protection plan! 8y
