The idea is simple. You enter an ISBN and Bookpile shows you nearby independent bookshops, libraries, and book-tracking sites. It deliberately puts small, independent bookstores front and centre. No affiliate links, no cookies, no tracking — just books and the people who love selling or lending them.

It's so when it links to local bookshops and libraries, you can be directly be taken to the book when ISBN search is available. Given the site's purpose is to put "independent bookstores front and centre", not all of those small business are going to be able to display stock levels online
