This is actually a pretty legitimate bookstore in its own right. I first came in here a few times to return Amazon items that I had ordered online, but I recently went in with my son to get some childrens books, and I was really impressed with the size of their selection. Its not quite as large as the old fashioned Barnes & Noble bookstores, but if you look past the first wall of misc display items, theres a whole series of rows of shelves of books sorted by topic. The prices are even better for Amazon prime members.

Went here to get my palm scanned for the Amazon One function. You can use your palm as an ID, especially for concerts etc. Im going to Red Rocks and its used there!They had some cool, weird deals as well. Not just a book store, but a little touch of amazon too - complete with cookware and gifts. 10/10 would go again. 9/10 because sometimes the app has better app-only deals. 10/10 for actually being able to go into an Amazon store.Jeff who?

Dropped by for the first time. Had no idea about the closing time. Browsed for a while and grabbed a few books. Service was impeccable.They closed the doors but let us browse around without ever mentioning that they were closed or hurrying us. Realized at checkout that they were actually closed and there was no one else in the store. Staff was very helpful, friendly and knowledgeable about the layout and where certain books were. Fun Fact : Harry Potter books can be found at the back of the store, Childrens section, ages 9-12.Browsing and checkout experience was very smooth as well. Pricing is consistent between store and website. Would recommend the store if u want to look and feel the books before buying or even for browsing.

This is a great bookstore. It is good that they sell all of the Amazon branded electronics (FireTV, Alexa, Dot, Tablets, Kindle, etc.) here. You can also buy some Amazon Basics items here too. They even have comfortable chairs for you to browse your books before you buy them. What a great idea!!

Had some pretty amazing and knowledgeable staff on my most recent visit. Good recommendations and very helpful. I do love this store and appreciate a brick & mortar book store still where you can get a bit more personalized recommendations & service.

Review №16

Amazon only in a physical space. I love that books are shown facing the user, instead of just seeing the side of it.Since its Amazon, the store is focused on showing you whats available and recommendations of things you may like, rather than other book stores that also have to carry all the books and it feels like digging through piles to find something.Also, Amazon Prime members pay the same price online and offline!

Book selection was a bit low but a pleasant shop in general.

Review №18

Could use one or two more people walking around trying to help, but other than that its a good establishment with lots of good books. This being said, i have to suggest locally owned book stores. Amazon is already a billionaire company. Support powells, your local library, etc before amazon, in my opinion.

Review №22

Its nice to have a bookstore here. They have all the books facing with the cover outward, so they dont have as big of a selection as they could, which is a bit of a let down. It is nice that you can return some amazon products here, rather than having to ship them through UPS.

I can’t praise Jo at the Washington Square store enough.She helped me choose and set up a new Kendall and spent an hour very patiently dealing with the problems of setting it up with my account, phone and WiFi. She’s very knowledgeable and helpful/patient with a very senior citizen. Give that woman a promotion and a big raise. Thank you, Jo.

Review №25

I was doing last minute Christmas shopping at Washington Square Mall..I had been in other stores looking for some kind of charger or gadget for my son and his wife...Lucky for me I walked into the Amazon bookstore and this very nice Lady named Denise asked me if I needed assistance. I told her what I was sort of looking for..She listened patiently,gave me options and suggested if I had heard of an Echo show smart speaker.She showed me the features like the weather,music genres,cooking and baking recipes reminder settings etc....I was impressed I had to have it.I automatically knew my son and his wife would enjoy this type of gift!..In the process she also asked me if I needed a stand but also asked me if I needed anything else with it.So I did asked what else could I add to this specific gadget and I was grateful she did show me I could buy it with a Blink mini camera,Life light and a smart plug as a kit...and it was totally still under my budget saving myself about $60s!!!All I gotta say is Thank you Denise;) for taking your time and your product knowledge goes perfectly well with your Beautiful Personality....Thanks Amazon books in Tigard Oregon👍

Review №45

Handy to pick up a gadget, book, smart thingies, or whatever semi-random items are present when youre there. Payment by Amazon-linked plastic only, so unaffiliated payment methods are void. Gotta make sure you get the Prime price where applicable, because it can be a notable savings. In a couple transactions, I had to point out that it was missed. Be aware.

From the moment I entered the store, I was greeted by a friendly associate, who helped direct to the front counter. The next associate was also very friendly and helpful in processing my return. The experience was quick, easy and organized. Definitely the best in-store return process Ive experienced!

Review №48

I absolutely love going to the Amazon bookstore! It has all the joy of a brick and mortar store with the prices of Amazon Prime. Its incredibly satisfying to browse through the rows of books and once youve found a few, scan the barcodes and see that Prime Price. They are set up similar to a Barnes and Noble (Though not as big). Definitely a place we always make a point of visiting when we are at the mall.

Do not accept cash. Waited in a long line not knowing this because they dont bother to post it. The woman at the counter said we try to simulate the online experience. Maybe I came into the store because I dont like the online experience, ever think of that?

Associates were very helpful with me processing my order return. My first time in an Amazon bookstore. Not to much different from most other bookstores, except no prices on the books. You take if to a scanner that will reveal the price. An interesting approach.

I needed to return an item, which Ive never had to do before with Amazon. The employee tht helped me was Carlos, he was so helpful and efficient. Im not very tech savy but he was patient with me. Now I know how to do a return claim on my phone thanks to him.

Pretty cool looking, but they didnt have the book I wanted.... Golden Son, part of the Red Rising series.... I was so sad, because I very much wouldve liked to purchase it from that store. Oh well, it was still, pretty cool, just not 4 or 5 star cool.

The store is so clean, and well organized. I love that, as a prime member, I can use my app to get books as the same price as a prime member. Also that I dont have to slide my debit card, and get an emailed receipt 👌🏼Im in and out quickly every time I go.

Review №86

This little shop is just a gimmick. Theres really no reason for it to exist unless you REALLY want to handle a kindle before you buy it. Otherwise its a waste of space. The selection is way too small to really be a bookstore. The items that it does have a the more expensive choicesThe electronics section is so small it may as well not be there, and since it has Amazons dynamic pricing nothing has an price on it, just a bar code, so you have to scan it with your phone, which completely defeats the purpose of browsing. Finally just left because I want interested in anything enough to have to stop and scan every item I wanted to know about. They could have done so much more with this and instead it was a total miss.
