Powells.com Revenue and Competitors

An independent bookseller based in Portland, Oregon, Powells.com offers the inventory of six Powell's brick-and-mortar stores and five warehouses - approximately four million books in all. Online since 1994, Powells.com has developed a unique business model based on a broad inventory of new, used, rare, and out-of print books, a pricing structure that often undercuts competitors, and the most respected book content on the web. The award-winning site features timely content from the Atlantic Monthly, Esquire, the New Republic, the Christian Science Monitor , and others, plus staff picks, monthly contests, and exclusive author interviews and essays. Internet Retailer magazine crowned Powells.com one of the 50 best online retailers (the only brick-and-mortar store on the list), explaining, "Powells.com has the feel of a neighborhood bookstore staffed by avid readers."
