Price Comparison Sites Are NOT Created Equal

Looking for the lowest price on a book? Just because you used a price comparison website doesn't mean you've found the best price. The truth is, many price comparison sites limit the online bookstores they search. They opt for the easy, fast route, and only search bookstores who provide complete product data-feeds. The end result is they ignore many deep-discount booksellers, and display higher prices to you.

Equally flawed are the price comparison websites which display faulty or out-of-date book prices. Because of their slower technology, these sites only check for price updates every week or month. True, in a brick-and-mortor business prices don't change very often. But on the Internet, a week is a lifetime. You end up spending more time verifying the site's antiquated prices than you would just buying the book.

Another common gimmick is to "feature" the bookstores which offer the highest kickback. Instead of directing you to the lowest price, these price comparison sites display their "featured" booksellers at the top of the list, tricking most visitors into purchasing the book at a higher price. They may have the lowest price, but you sure wouldn't know it.

Only Compare Book's real time price comparison engine delivers the absolute lowest price on your book searches, guaranteed. Each time you search for a book, we immediately check every major online bookstore, regardless of the data-feed they provide, or the profit we receive. And because we are completely independent from the bookstores we search, we never give priority to one retailer over another. The best price for both new and used books is always clearly identified.
