Ask HN: What happened to Bookpool.com?

4 points by codesink ↗ HN
I was used to buy technical books on bookpool.com, prices were lower then everywhere else and they had almost everything I needed.

Now on bookpool.com there's just the default godaddy parking page.

Anybody knows what happened and if they're going to come back in the near future?

Jeez, I loved Book Pool for computer books. I hope they didn't accidentally let their domain expire. To answer your question, no, I don't know, and I'm just as stunned as you are.

I don't know - I remember trying to go by there about a year ago and it was dead. I suspected then that it was due to Amazon. Bookpool used to be the cheapest but sometime around 2005 Amazon became even cheaper.
