What is Amazon Books?

Amazon Books is all about discovery. We’ve applied over twenty years of experience as a customer-focused, online retailer to build a store that integrates the benefits of offline and online shopping and spurs discovery of great books, Amazon devices and customer favorites from amazon.com.

What can you buy at Amazon Books?

We carry a highly-curated selection of books, devices, toys and games that our customers love. All of our products are rated 4 stars and above by our customers, or are bestsellers, or new releases.

What kind of things are not at Amazon Books?

Currently, you won’t find any food! But, customers can visit any of our Amazon Go stores or one of the many Whole Foods Markets across the country.

What makes Amazon Books unique?

Amazon Books is a customer-focused store, designed to spur discovery; a place where customers can find great books and products, and learn more about our devices. To give you more information as you browse, we’ve created unique features to highlight what people are reading, how they are reading and what they are loving, to help customers discover great new books.

How is it different to Amazon Go or Amazon 4-star?

First and foremost, we’re a bookstore! All the books in our stores are bestsellers, new releases, or rated 4 stars and above by amazon.com customers. To help you discover books you’ll love, our curators have developed familiar product groupings like you would see online that highlight what customers are reading, how they’re reading, and what they’re loving. Examples of these include: “Page Turners (Books Kindle Readers Finish in 3 Days or Less)”; “If You Like…” a feature that showcases well-known bestsellers alongside lesser-known titles that would appeal to the same reader; and, “Highly Quotable” a feature that uses aggregated Kindle reading behavior to help customers find books that are especially memorable or quote-worthy.

How do I pay for items? What’s the checkout experience?

After you discover products you love, you visit our checkout registers toward the front of the store. We accept a variety of payment methods, including Amazon Pay via our mobile shopping app, Amazon gift cards, Amazon Cash, as well as Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover.

Are there benefits to shopping at Amazon Books if I’m a Prime member?

Definitely! In store, Prime members pay the same low Prime price they get online for products that are shipped from and sold by amazon.com (not by other sellers on Amazon.)
