In a lot of ways, BetterWorld.com can be seen as Barnes and Noble and Amazon — with a mission that extends beyond maximizing economic profitability. Its core mission centers around promoting global literacy through work with its four partners: NCFL, Books for Africa, Room to Read, and the WorldFund.

Looking to sell/donate some books? You can also do it through BetterWorld.com and through their local community locations.

Plus, they offer free domestic shipping (global shipping is $3.95) that’s environmentally conscious. How? By offsetting their carbon footprints through Carbonfund.org.
