I find the World of Books very easy to Use

I find the World of Books very easy to use and I am allowed to sell books if I feel the Price is ok. Its probably the easiest of all the sites to use and generally gives the best value for books. The presentation in the site is excellent and very encouraging. The idea of the shelf is good. I will continue to use.

You can never get through to them

You can never get through to them. The live chat is just a link to FAQ and it is not possible to leave a message. They lost a CD of mine and never bothered to get in touch. Also the referral scheme doesn't track properly.

So simple

This was so easy and everything went through very quickly. Great to know that my books will have a second chance to bring joy to someone else and have made me a bit of money. They won't take everything but accepted about half the books I scanned.
