Some Information About kbooks
Book Selling History
We have been selling used and new books since 1990. We had a store called the Cobourg Bookroom located in Cobourg, Ontario, Canada until 2003.
We started selling books on the internet in 1996. Over the years we watched that portion of our sales grow until in 2003 it had reached 75% of our sales while in store sales continued to decline. Thus leading to the decision to close the store and shift exclusively to the internet. Sounds easy but it was a lot of work reorganizing the huge inventory. We reopened exclusively online in January 2005 as “ kbooks online”. By 2009 we had reached an average of 85 books ordered online per day, seven days a week.
Our inventory has continued to grow. Today we have over 47,000 books in our data base of which over 23,000 are unique titles. We now sell our books on well over 25 different web sites. Web sites like eBid have our lowest prices because the fees are so low. All of our various sites can be asily located with a google search on "kbooks" or "kbookscanada"
We rented a commercial space in the fall of 2008 to facilitate additional inventory and work space. Our family run business has now expanded from the original two family members to include 6 staff members and a third family member.
kbooks is located in Toronto, Ontario, Canada with two locations. The main location is in Toronto and a branch operation based in Niagara Falls, NY. It is from the Niagara Falls location that we mail directly through the USPS to customers based in the USA.
kbooks is a member of the World Book Market
