- Freak_NL 7y agoThere was a Dutch initiative in 2019 as well (bookaroo.nl), but that seems to have failed quite miserably. The concept had local bookshops deliver the orders with Bookaroo acting as a nation-wide online shop and asking a 5% commission. It quickly proved too expensive for bookshops to be worth their efforts. In the Netherlands people who know the value of a good local bookshop tend to make an effort to support them and just go there, and many already deliver. The rest of the readers won't switch from the convenient and cheap bol.com (Dutch) or amazon.de (amazon.nl coming soon for physical products too).
