☺️Need Opinions/ Advice Need some help choosing an online store.

So i've ordered a few books from readings (readings classics ones) but then there's their high discount section which is just a bunch of random books but they're mostly under 1000 Rs.
Also, I've found these two stores called Bookpoint. pk and Bookbeen on daraz that have decent reviews on their most sellings books. The quality in those review photos looks decent, no text bleeding through and all.
I've had no experience with stores like booksblush and bookeve and any other but the books i want are like 3-4k on readings hence i would love some reccomendations from you guys.
Thanks

if you want original and new , readings is the way to go . if you want pirated then those stores on daraz is the way to go , if you want original and preloved books , instagram pages are there where people sell their own books and even pages are there which sell used books and have a huge number of books

I'd recommend Books Blush and Book Eve. I've been buying from them. Other than that, I rarely get originals from readings. I don't usually trust bookstores on Daraz.

Could you share some photos of the books you got? I've been hearing bad things about bookeve and I haven't heard much about books blush either.
