BookHub, the new site by New Zealand booksellers, seeks to gain an upper hand on the e-commerce giant. For Jenna Todd, the manager of Time Out bookstore in Auckland, the cry from local booksellers for an alternative to Amazon was an existential one. "This is a way of ensuring the survival of the independent bookseller in New Zealand," Todd told Stuff. The site aims to bring those buyers back to the country, to shop locally, and to rediscover their local book stores.
