# Amazon Buys AbeBooks

(http://www.businesswire.com/portal/site/google/?ndmViewId=news_view&newsId=20080801005130&newsLang=en)

Amazon.com announced today that it is acquiring (http://www.abebooks.com/) of Victoria, BC.

“AbeBooks is an online marketplace for books, with over 110 million primarily used, rare and out-of-print books listed for sale by thousands of independent booksellers from around the world.”

Very interesting.
