Reviews Wordery

Where Americans buy their favorite books has been in flux for the past couple of years. It used to be the bookstore. Then it became Amazon. Meanwhile, Wordery is one of America’s fastest growing bookshops. But is it cheaper than Amazon? And can discover new books as easily as you would in an actual physical bookstore? Find out the answers to these questions by reading reviews.

About Wordery

Wordery was founded by five friends in the UK who understood why online bookstores had taken off: they were convenient and cheap. But they also understood that online bookshops had diminished the joy of visiting an acutal bookstore. There was no more enjoyment to buying books. It had just become a hunt for the lowest price, instead of the joy of browsing through a bookshop and falling in love with a book that’s sitting on a shelf.

These five book-lovers started to do fellow readers a service by setting up an alternative bookstore that would recapture the bookshop spirit while also offering books at great value. This turned out great: since 2012, Wordery has served over five million customers in over 100 countries.

Going to a bookshop not only means that you buy the book that you were looking for, but that you also discover other books. Wordery attempts to do this online. Continuing to innovate, Wordery seeks to remain ahead of the curve when it comes to providing the best service.
