Perhaps there is nothing better than to relax with a good book, and all the better if it’s at cheap prices! Price comparison sites can save a lot of trouble by searching many of the best prices thorough online stores. However, here is a brief guide to our top six.

Abebooks

Whether you are into best sellers, enjoy dreaming through those travel guides, or you’re a student looking for cheap revision guides or college books, there are a few sites out there that are worth taking a look at. Moreover, some offer free delivery even on cheap books. Abebooks is said to be the world's largest online bargain store that offers discounts books among the 100 million. They can also be found via their community of independent bookstores. Buying textbooks here can include anything up to a 90% discount. Moreover, many come with free delivery - no minimum purchase is necessary.

Amazon

Whether Amazon.co.uk or Amazon.com, this massive book company offers a wide range of books online at discounted prices. In fact, they often offer the cheapest books around which can start from as little as £1.50. However, unless you are spending a fairly large amount, you should still expect to pay for delivery.

iChapters

iChapters is a great option for students, as not only do they sell used textbooks, but you can also download many of the books or even simply pay to download a particular chapter, therefore saving a fair amount of money. Here, you can also get a great variety of cheap study guides and learning tools.

Play.com

Play.com always holds a good selection of quality books that you can choose from. In addition, postage and packaging is always free. Moreover, there is also a special offers section that offers some good book deals and is relatively wide in range.

Waterstones

While the book store known as Waterstones is perhaps best known as a High Street shop, they also have a great online store. Included in its popular books section is a specialist student section where students can compare books at discounted prices. They also have many periods where they offer free deliveries, although this usually excludes overseas deliveries.

WH Smith

Another company perhaps better known as a High Street shop is WH Smith. However, WH Smith.co.uk can be found online and it offers some 1.5 million books. The good thing about using this website is that you can always browse through the CD, DVD or computer games section at the same time. Books can also be arranged to be reserved at your local store for collection at your convenience.
