Comments on Chris' review of BetterWorld: Book by Book
BetterWorld: Book by Book
Description: 1.8 Million Books, 500,000 Titles, Fund Local & Global Literacy - Carbon Neutral - Ships US Free/$2.97 Worldwide
An Online Book Store with a Conscience
A was so psyched when I found this bookstore (I think originally through abebooks.com). They don't just sell new and used books. They are committed to funding literacy and minimizing environmental impact, among other things. Shipping is FREE in the USA. Not only that, they have what they describe as "an e-commerce first: the Carbon Neutral Shopping Cart". Using a small amount of money they collect from each purchase, Better World Books uses carbon offsets to buy renewable energy credits and support reforestation. This is much more than I've seen any other online bookstore do to minimize their environmental impact.
I ordered two used books from them a few months ago and had a great experience. I even e-mailed them about a misspelling on a page on their website and got a nice personal e-mail back. Now they are the first place I go when I'm thinking of buying a book.
