For over 20 years, The Nile has been helping Kiwis discover and enjoy great stories.
We’re more than just an online bookstore—we’re proudly founded in New Zealand and built on care, connection, and a real love for books. Unlike the big global players, we’re not trying to cram every title into a massive Auckland warehouse. Instead, our superpower is our direct relationships with all New Zealand and Australian publishers. So even if a bestseller isn’t in stock, chances are we can get it to you fast—no fuss, no stress.
For our Aussie mates, we’ve also got a secondary warehouse in Australia to help keep things speedy on both sides of the ditch.
And we don’t stop there—over the past two decades, we’ve built strong partnerships with major book wholesalers in the US and UK. If a book’s out there, we’ll do our best to find it for you. Thanks to our solid systems and trusted networks, we can give you accurate delivery estimates—and we stick to them.
We’re proud to be a New Zealand founded company that’s been part of the online book world since the early days. With a huge range, fair prices, and a team that really knows their stuff, we’re here to help you find your next great read.
