That's great news!

I've bought from digiDirect before and it seems like they're doing the right thing by Booktopia's old employees.

I'll keep buying from them if they make it possible to browse the website with some privacy extensions running

I used to buy books from Booktopia a lot, because reading text on LCD / LED screens is horrible.

But then I discovered epaper devices and the convenience of carrying your entire library around in something half the size of a single paperback.

Surprised there's still a big enough demand for physical books to be honest.

I didn't even realise digidirect was still operating.
