Booko is an Australian book, eBook, audiobook, DVD, music and collectibles price-comparison service operating since 2007. It aggregates new and used prices across many online retailers and regions, calculates shipping, and converts international prices to the shopper's local currency to surface the cheapest place to buy a title. Booko also offers shopping lists with bundled shipping calculations, barcode scanning, reading lists, price alerts and notifications. It is a consumer-facing comparison site rather than a retailer or a public API provider, earning referral fees from partner shops (including Amazon Associates) when shoppers buy through its links. Booko is a solo developer-run product surfaced through the API Evangelist network as a Y Combinator portfolio company.
