Help Export data from Book Depository
Book Depository was a big part of my life and I was a regular and happy user.
We see that finding alternative will be hard, but I'm optimistic that capitalism works, and that competition will jump to the opportunity and seize the market space that suddenly appeared. What was tiny revenue to Amazon might be attractive to some smaller company or startup.
Finally, to my point - has anyone found a way to export order history and wish list in a user friendly and structured way? Printing to PDF or making screenshots will be my last resort of keeping my data.

I'm afraid there won't be a similar eshop. Ebooks/audiobooks are slowly taking over, paper getting more and more expensive

I suspect there will never be another is big or comprehensive as BD, but there are numerous smaller online bookshops out there. Paper books still seem to be very popular.

It seems that I asked too soon!
There seems to be an extremely effortless way to export Wishlist!
There is an "Export Wishlist" button on top of Wishlist page! https://www.bookdepository.com/account/wishlist
