In my ongoing attempt to try to spread the word about We Compare Books, I talk to many people on a daily basis. I tend to start conversations on trains, buses, planes. I am even that guy who will talk to people in line with me at the supermarket. Throughout all of these encounters I have gotten many responses, most positive, but the one consistent response, the one that comes up over and over again is, “I just buy my books at Amazon, I trust they have the best prices and have been using them for years, why should I go anywhere else”.
This is a very valid response, and one that I overall agree with. I am a big fan of Amazon as well and in fact purchased all of my textbooks via Amazon my freshman year. Even today I purchase many books through Amazon, but only when they are the cheapest. Sometimes Amazon is the cheapest, sometimes it is not. The difference between going directly to Amazon to purchase a book, as opposed to comparing prices is that at Amazon you only get to search a single bookstore, – many sellers yes, but a single store nonetheless – whereas by going to We Compare Books you get to simultaneously search many bookstores with a single click. So, this means that instead of being able to get the lowest price on Amazon only, We Compare Books enables you to find the lowest possible price on the Web. Therefore, although there are times when Amazon is your best option, you should always try to find the best price, and the best way to find the best price is still to use a price comparison engine. Give us a try, you will be surprised how much you can save!
