Amazon is closing Book Depository after 18 years of free worldwide delivery


Book lovers around the world are mourning the loss of Book Depository following the announcement that the Amazon-owned online bookstore is to close.
Based in the UK, Book Depository has been offering free worldwide delivery of books, including many titles that are hard to get hold of from other sources, since 2007. The shutdown date is imminent -- April 26 -- but as orders are being accepted until that day, there is still time to grab a bargain.
