Hey OzBargainers, for NYD we've dropped the price of Booko Buddy to free! It's a handy little app when you're out and about and want to know if you should buy a book in-store or online. Just scan the barcode and the latest online pricing will be retrieved from booko.com.au.
how will that aid in escaping Batman?
No Android? :(
…yet. If we ask nicely…..
I don't want to learn Java, but if you know any good Android developers, tell them to contact Booko.
I LOVE BOOKO! I didn't even know an app for it existed!
EXACTLY what I was just thinking :D
I can confirm it works just as well the website - barcode scanning is a charm! So happy!
I think you could pretty much confirm (assume) everything is cheaper online without the app…
Yes, but handy to know how much cheaper if you're already in the store with book in hand.
exactly most people are willing to pay a little extra for a hard copy just because they are easier to read and it's nice to have something physical to give away to a friend at the end.
They're talking about importing, not ebooks.
Not always the case. Discount book stores such as AllBooks4Less can be cheaper, so can the big stores like Big W when they put stuff on special. For most books, overseas is cheaper.
The app won't search amazon due to licensing issues but I seldom find amazon cheaper than book depository.
Prices for Amazon are retrieved but shown as "Withheld", however they are in their correct sorted position in the list (cheapest to most expensive).
Big fan of Booko - got me buying books again
Expired :(
Sounds like a handy app for the bookworms.
