Oh snowbirds, we know you’re away for the summer. There’s no shame in that; even Conchs need a break from the rock. But Books & Books @ The Studios has your back. When you’re not in Key West, we’re here to serve your reading needs.
Our web site BooksandBooksKW.com provides news of what’s happening with weekly updates on new books, and links to our offsite resources. Just click “Can’t Get to the Shop,” where you’ll find a link to our full service online bookstore supplying hardcover and paperback books, as well as links to our new Ebook service from Kobo and our audiobook service from Libro.fm.
The online store is not limited to the 5,000 titles in stock of the store, but includes an inventory of over nine million books, almost everything that’s in print. We’ll ship anything to you without charge, and without sales tax (unless you’re in Florida or New York).
Our digital ebook and audiobook services are equally comprehensive, drawing on the resources of the online seller Kobo for ebooks and Libro.fm for audiobooks. You’ll be pleased to know that the prices charged for either kind of digital book is usually the same as that charged by the giant online bookstores (no names mentioned). And we offer the same instant download. The content of the digital books (and the reading voice in the case of audiobooks) is the same. The big difference is that Books & Books @ The Studios shares in the revenue. So if you shop locally when you’re in town, why not do it when you’re away?
A few tips:
Ebooks – Buy your books via the link at shop.booksandbookskw.com and set up an account. You’ll want to download the Kobo reader app to access them on your Apple or Android phones, pads or tablets. Once installed, you can access all the books purchased with your Books & Books account, read them save them, etc. (Reading Kobo books on a traditional Kindle or Nook can be tricky. If that’s important to you, drop a note to george@tskw.org. and he’ll help you figure out a solution.)
Audiobooks – Visit Libro.fm to sign up and create an account. Pick Books & Books @ The Studios as your home store. Get the Libro.fm app to listen to the books on your phone, pad or tablet. You can buy individual books or get a monthly subscription for $14.99 which will entitle you to a book of any price each month. Unlike some other audiobook subscription programs, your monthly entitlements from Libro never expire.
