Galaxus to take over the book retail business of Ex Libris

Alex Hämmerli

30.1.2026

Galaxus is taking over the Migros Group's online book business. For Galaxus customers like you, this means an even wider selection of books and an even better shopping experience.

The Migros Group is consolidating its online book retail activities: the Ex Libris business will be transferred to Galaxus by mid-2027 (the Migros press release can be found here). As a result, Galaxus will expand its product range substantially in 2026. Galaxus currently stocks around 1.5 million books, while Ex Libris, the previous Swiss online market leader, has around 8 million titles.

Galaxus aims to improve the product data to allow customers to search and filter even more effectively by author, ISBN, language or variants, such as paperback or hardcover. Further measures to improve the shopping experience are in the pipeline, but not yet finalised. Galaxus will also sell e-books in the medium term.

We hope you enjoy browsing through our range of books.
