Bookbot

Knihobot runs an online second-hand bookshop at knihobot.cz. Sellers upload photos of book spines through a form, and the company accepts selected titles, photographs and lists them, and sells them, paying the seller a commission when a book sells. The site also offers new books and says it lists nearly 2 million titles, all second-hand, with each book photographed individually.

Its customers are readers who buy books on the e-shop and private sellers who send books in for resale. Buyers can set up a Watchdog alert to be notified when a wanted title returns to stock. Revenue comes from the margin on resold books. The website also describes a loyalty program called Knihobot Klub.

The company was founded in Prague, where its headquarters is listed, and the website describes its operations as expanding to Germany, Austria and Slovakia, with further markets named as France, Italy, Spain, Belgium and the Netherlands. The careers page states 1300+ employees, 9 countries, and a warehouse in Prague 15 (Hostivař) with a logistics centre. Current openings include warehouse and team leader roles, a trainer, a full-stack platform engineer and a management position. The media section mentions a planned physical store in Berlin.
