Depends on what you're looking for. My recommendation is to go to booko and look up the book you're after. It will then search through about 30 different online bookshops, listing the various prices (including shipping). BookDepository usually comes out very close to the top of the list.
If you prefer to support local sites, then I usually find Fishpond to be the cheapest place to shop in Australia.

BetterWorldBooks, cheap and you get the feelgood factor of helping promote literacy around the world. New and used, get a description of the quality of used books.

If you are into audiobooks, then eBay yields a lot of people selling cheap audible (part of amazon) credits.

If you guys don't mind used books then awesomebooks.com has some great deals. Usually 2.5 pounds for a used book, which is about $5 AUD. I think half of my book collection has come from there

Cheers sounds great.
Forgot to add 'booko' that compares the prices of many online book stores.

I've started going to Op Shops in the past year and found some amazing stuff. Today I went out to about 15 Op Shops in Perth, around Victoria Park, Belmont, Cannington and Willetton and came home with 40 books and would have spent less than $100. Got some great books - Coetzee, Confederacy of Dunces (lost my original copy), John Irving, John Banville, an Iain Sinclair book I've looked about for ages, John Updike, Tom Wolfe, Michel Houellebecq, JG Ballard, a replacement Solzhenitsyn I lost, Luke Rhinehart. It's a pretty good day out too. Most of the shops are clustered together so you drive to one suburb and there's three or four shops very close to each other and the old girl looks for clothes while I look at the books. I've found heaps of other great stuff that costs $15 to $20 online or ebay and it only costs a maximum of $5 at these shops. The only thing is you can't obviously aim to find a particular book, you just have to get what's there.

I've been using booko.com.au which finds cheap books that you can purchase online. Worth having a look.

Agree. Relatively fast delivery time as well.

AbeBooks looks pretty good. I got some BookWorld vouchers for Xmas and they are really, really slow. Only just sent the last two books on Friday and they are a bit pricey compared with everyone else.
