Reviews Tagged “Book Shops”
- Bookshop.org ★★★★☆ A good place to shop online for books and still support indie bookstores. They’ve started selling eBooks too, in standard ePub form. The reader app is a bit rough around the edges, but works well enough on a regular phone or tablet…just not on an e-ink touchscreen (yet?)
- The Comic Bug ★★★★★ Open, inviting, and kid-friendly, with friendly staff and a wide selection. Frequent artist/writer signings.
- Comics Toons N’ Toys ★★★★★ The best comic store I’ve been to in Orange County. The staff is friendly and helpful, and the selection is incredible.
- eBooks.com ★★★★☆ An eBook seller with some actual business ethics. No hardware (which simplifies things), but they have an app for Android and iOS, and any DRM-free titles can be downloaded and read on just about anything.
- Kobo (eBook store and readers) ★★★★☆ A solid alternative to Kindle, from the eBook selection through apps and hardware. The app works well on my eink tablet without too much tweaking, though it still wants to sell me more books before I can open the one I want to read.
- Mysterious Galaxy ★★★★★ Bookstore specializing in sci-fi and mysteries, involved in local community and conventions.
- Not Cross-Posting to Better World Books I recently picked up some used books, which worked out great. But I’m not cross-posting my reviews there because they claim copyright over user submissions, not just a perpetual license.
- Where to Get eBooks A round-up of places I’ve used to find, buy, borrow and download eBooks.
