On: Show HN: I built a site that finds the cheapest place to buy a book

I guess you wouldn't be buying it if you pirate it.

This is aimed towards physical books. Hopefully if people can access books legally and cheaply it will discourage piracy.

Sort of. Making used boo market more efficient distorts the market and causes a reaction in new book prices. In a perfect used book market, a new copy would cost over >$1000 and a used copy would sell for $5-20 less each time it changed hands.
