The Book Depository: Cheap books, free international shipping

I stumbled upon this great resource that provides an excellent deal for buying books online. It's called The Book Repository and offers great prices and most importantly, FREE INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING to Malaysia.

Double checking the prices between The Book Repository and Amazon.com shows that more often than not, TBR is able to match or even beat the prices offered by Amazon. After factoring in shipping prices, TBR becomes a seriously good deal.

The website interface is a little bit disorientating, but given the wide range of books on sale, it's a joy to browse through and see all sorts of topics on sale. My friend wanted to get a book on Greek Mythology, and the prices at Kinokuniya wass more than RM100 for a thin book while I found a 700 page book on TBR for less than $20!

For popular paperbacks(eg Stephanie Meyer's Eclipse or Haruki Murakami's Kafka on the Shore), prices tend to range in the RM45 territory (after conversion), which makes it a tad more expensive compared to stuff you can find at Popular. However TBR's greatest strength is in the almost gigantic library it carries, making finding books on obscure subjects or things not sold here a breeze.

I'm not sure how customs will handle buying books overseas, whether there will be any additional duties imposed, etc. As it is, a book lover should have no problem spending lots of time (and money) on books that you can't get anywhere else!

The HTC HD2 with its Excellent Hardware but Archaic Operating System

The HTC HD2 with its Excellent Hardware but Archaic Operating System Cyberduck: Easy FTP for Mac! Best Torrent Uploader And Rippers [Vote] The HTC HD2 with its Excellent Hardware but Archaic Operating System I could not help myself from being impressed with the HTC HD2. Why? Because the combination of its physical attributes is truly exceptional Almost like a smartphone for $200 and a two-year subscription from T-Mobile. But I was somehow dismayed when I discovered that it has but an obsolete OS, the Windows Mobile 6.5 which cannot be upgraded with the WinMo 7 once it's out. Stunning Design Nevertheless, the minimalist design is really exceptional. Stainless steel, soft black rubber body, very chic appearance though it's a little larger than most smartphones (4.7 x 2.6 x .4 inches). This slightly bigger built is accounted to accommodate the 480 by 800 pixel resolution in its 4.3 inches WVGA screen (responsive but sluggish on the average). Beneat...

Free Antivirus Software for Mac – Review Review: Whole New World of Sony Free Realms MMO Game [Massive-Multiplayer Online] Several friends introduced me to the world of MMO or massive-multiplayer online games. I had no idea that there were a lot of options for in-game purchases for these online games. Some offer monthly subscriptions, pay-per-play, and free-to-play. These MMO games offer a wide array of games from older ones like the ever popular World of Warcraft to new releases like Warhammer Online. But when you look at these games, most of them cater to much older players. This is why Sony created the kid-friendly MMO Free Realms. My Sony Free Realms MMO Review I tried the games for myself. The graphics were rather impressive. I became int...
