Probably a bit nitpicky, but there is at least one place outside the US/EU where it is very easy to find books in English.

- bathtub365 4y agoI know of at least two off the top of my head: UK and Canada.
- bombcar 4y agoBritain, Australia, and India would be my guesses. And Canada if we haven’t annexed it yet.
- musicale 4y agoPoor New Zealand, not even on the map in Risk.
- activitypea 4y agoYou're right, let me rephrase. > I feel like there are no words for how much this sucks for me personally. It seems to me that if you are in most countries outside the US/EU, potentially excluding strong US/EU-adjacent economies such as Canada, UK, and Switzerland (Switzerland technically not being a part of the European Union), books in english can be hard to find for some people. Book Depository had what I consider to be decent prices with free international shipping to most of the world. Sure, I have to wait around a month and sometimes they have to reship because it got damaged, possibly in transport, but if I would like to have a book at that very moment I can use Library Genesis. Books ordered from Book Depository make up a large part of my personal library, with a few exceptions course.
- climb_stealth 4y agoYou might be surprised. Good luck finding reasonably priced books in Australia. Book depository has been excellent. I had no idea this was coming. I didn't know they were owned by Amazon. This is terrible and it just goes to show that we can't have nice things. I had been ordering books from there since 2015 :(
- musicale 4y agoWasn't there a "reasonably priced" bit also? See peer comment regarding pricing in Australia.
