Description
Been using the ThriftBooks: New & Used Books app for a couple months now. It’s basically an app that lets you search, browse, and buy books at discounted prices. Pretty solid if you’re a bookworm like me.
There’s a bunch of cool features – you can scan book barcodes to compare prices and check availability, shop daily deals to save 10%, and even earn points to get free books. And the personalized recommendations are actually pretty good too. And they’ll even send you an email when an out-of-stock book you want comes back in.
Look, if you love reading but don’t wanna break the bank, you’ll probably dig this app. It’s not perfect – the user interface can be a bit clunky at times – but overall it does the job. Definitely worth checking out if you’re looking to save money on books.
Editor Opinion
So here's my take on the ThriftBooks app. I've tested a bunch of book shopping apps and this one's one of the better ones. The ability to scan barcodes and compare prices is super handy, and I like how you can earn free books just by reading. And the daily deals are a nice perk too. The only real downside is the app can feel a bit outdated and cluttered at times. But if you're a big reader on a budget, this is a pretty solid option.
